Recenzii
“This novel is spine-tingling, haunting, and will have lovers of gothic mystery begging for more. The characters are raw, interesting, and relatable as the police service navigates new members and the complexity of long-standing ones. At the heart of A Place of Secrets is a sweet sentiment wrapped in silver linings and dipped in darkness, and all as cold as the winter days it takes place over.”
“With A Place of Secrets, Peacock delivers yet another gripping novel steeped in atmosphere, emotion, and moral complexity. His Ontario landscape feels at once familiar and haunted, a place where history seeps into every corner. Through Morrow’s sharp and determined perspective, Peacock examines what people will do to protect the truths they cannot face. The result is a compelling and deeply human mystery that lingers long after the final page.”
“Like Munro and the late filmmaker David Lynch, Peacock enjoys pulling the curtain back on small-town politesse and exposing the rot behind it.”
“As for the big reveal, Peacock delivers it with a panache that will satisfy even the most veteran mystery buff. As Alice moves closer, literally and figuratively, to realizing who the dunit is, we sense danger before she does. No! Watch out! We want to yell. Doesn’t get much better.”
“A Place of Secrets ratchets up the suspense as the case challenges the team’s assumptions. They must piece together the puzzle, confront long-held family secrets, and — yes — unearth more bodies. Written in tight but evocative prose, Peacock’s novel layers character-driven drama over a stark, unsettling whodunit that will keep readers guessing until the end.”
“Cozy mystery meets Scandinavian crime.”
