The first thing I will say, is that I really enjoy Gary Fry's writing. I think he brings a richness to his stories through his writing style.I think the story got off to a great start, the location for the photo shoot was intriguing and it seemed as though the story was going to be the house and family who had lived there. The story, disappointingly, moves back to London and the pacing seems to suffer as not that much happens, any tension built in the initial stages of the story is lost.Also the main character didn't feel very relatable to me, I couldn't engage with her at all. After the initial scenes at the house the pacing seems to slow down and I found it took me quite a while to finish this book which was surprising as it's a pretty short read.Whilst I have enjoyed the authors work so far, I'm still waiting for a story from him that really grips me. I'm sure it will come in the near future.
