Absolutely loved this novel! I was a big fan of Alex North's The Whisper Man and read it back in the fall. The Shadows did not disappoint. From beginning to end I found myself completely drawn in to the mystery. The story jumps chronologically between "before" and "now" as it relates to a gruesome murder and disappearance that took place 25 years prior. The main character Paul returns home after two and a half decades to see his dying mother and what began as a personal trip down memory lane reflecting on the trauma he experienced quickly shifts to a current mystery. Copycat murders have occurred over time and now that Paul is back in town, eerie events continue to plague him. Throughout the entire book, I was completely confused on who did what and what was going to happen. I constantly found myself pausing, trying to keep everything connected and guess correctly before I reached the end. I was not successful and for that this ended up becoming quite a rollercoaster! The book itself well written and my only critique relates to the person revealed as one of the murders (there's so many in this book!). The final reveal felt somewhat out of left field and not as relevant as I would have hoped, seeing as how the rest of the book was so well connected which shocking reveals. Give it a read!
