The Dark- Emma Haughton- Crime thriller

Kate is the new doctor at UNA- United Nations Antarctica station where

to go outside freezes immediately. There are strict rules as supplies are

limited for things such as water and space amongst other things. Kate

had an accident a while ago and is here to try and get away from things-

and now on her arrival she is already wondering if she has done the right

thing. Her predecessor Jean-Luc died in an accident out on the ice-

only as time goes on some think that it wasn't an accident at all-

possibly murder. Is someone out to get Kate as when she tries to find

out more things go missing and she finds herself rather unpopular

amongst the group? Being confined in twenty four hour darkness for

several months amongst strangers can be difficult- but when there is

maybe something amiss- tensions and suspicions are running even

higher. Kate has her own demons and is rather a pill popper-

something that began as pain relief after her accident but has now

turned to different issues.

A “ locked room” type mystery of a different and interesting nature.

One I didn't want to put down. There was a brilliant tension building

and that air of something not quite right. A world of 24 hour

darkness and dependency on others- and if generators or other

equipment fails then lives are very much at risk- nothing can fly

in or out due to the weather. A thrilling read, well written and

one perhaps not to read in the depths of winter!
