The Blue Hour
WELCOME TO ERIS – A SCOTTISH TIDAL ISLAND WITH ONLY ONE HOUSE, ONE INHABITANT, ONE WAY OUT. . .
A place that is unreachable from the Scottish mainland for twelve hours each day. Once the hideaway of Vanessa, a famous artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago.
Now home to Grace. A solitary creature of the tides, content in her own isolation.
But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery far away in London, Grace receives an unexpected visitor.
And the secrets of Eris threaten to emerge . . .
My Review of The Blue Hour
My full review of The Blue Hour can be found on the My Weekly website here.
However, here I can say that The Blue Hour is a meticulous, beautifully written and intense exploration of the human psyche wrapped in a thrilling mystery that ensnares the reader and leaves them guessing right to the end. I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
