I read this book in December of 2019 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a nice undercurrent of supernatural elements; just enough to make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. I will do my best to avoid spoilers for anyone who hasn't read it yet and may be sensitive to that kind of thing. It was written in such a way that many different elements have been woven together, yet it is not obvious at first what the connections are. At first, Featherbank appears to be a charming, idyllic town perfect for a husband and son looking for a fresh start after the death of their wife and mother. In Featherbank, there is a strange rhyme children tell each other about a string of murders from twenty years ago. The son begins acting strange as the father and son become drawn in to a police investigation of a disappearance that is unsettlingly similar to the former murders, though the perpetrator has long been in prison. The conclusion is as shocking as it is satisfying.
