Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone is mystery thriller. Cat and El are twins who have gone no contact for years. Cat returns home when El disappears and is believed to be lost at sea. Back in the house she grew up in where her and El created Mirrorland. Cat must deal delve back into her history to solve the mystery of El.
This was an intriguing novel. Parts were great and page turning. Parts were confusing. Some parts dragged. Overall I think this was a solid novel. The twists were interesting but I never really found a character I really liked.
Three stars for a solid thriller, but I never felt any connection to the characters which meant I felt disconnected from the story. Thank you to NetGalley, Scribner and Carole Johnstone for the free copy. This was an honest review.
