A summer festival that is notoriously difficult to get tickets to forms the backdrop to the events in Luise Mumford’s latest. A thriller that, at times, strays into melodrama territory but it is an entertaining read. Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review it before publication.
Libby has always lived a safe life. Forgoing university to care for her mother, it is Libby’s friend Dawn who urges her to take risks and try new things. This determination to take a risk proves costly for Libby, though it does ultimately offer some respite.
When she wins tickets to the exclusive Solstice festival, Libby takes it as a sign to try something new. Things start well but odd events create a growing sense of unease. When Dawn goes missing and Libby is ejected from the festival things become increasingly fraught.
I won’t give details but there’s a story behind this. A story that is beyond what you’d imagine.
