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!
