Maud is a memorable protagonist – a smart, courageous girl who lives in a time where girls aren’t valued for their abilities. This is a slightly different read but leaves a similar lasting impression. While reading Wakenhyrst I found I had a lot of feelings! I first discovered the author’s writing through the atmospheric Dark Matter which I loved. When I read a book I try not to go in with any expectations so that whatever feelings surfaced is natural. One for the rook, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow.
After a lifetime of secrets, the dark truth about Edmund, Maud and what really happened 60 years ago is finally uncovered. And so the story moves back in time to 1906, when Maud was a child. His living daughter, Maud, may be the only other person who knows the truth about the murder. A man by the name of Edmund Stearn painted these while he was in an asylum for murdering a man. In 1966, an old murder mystery is brought back to public interest with the discovery of three paintings.
