A real puzzle which takes some time to unravel; a terrific read! Stella Harvey has fondest memories of her childhood years living on the island of Evergreen, only a short distance from the mainland but a completely different world and somewhat of a magic kingdom to children. But when a body is found practically in the garden of their former home, Stella feels the island pulling her back and she is desperate to find out if the deceased is known to her. But can you really ever go back? And is she prepared for what she may find out? A gripping read all the way through, I found myself reading faster and faster to find out where things were going. I was completely consumed with this one; the revelations come thick and fast once the story is in place and there is no way I could have guessed the final outcome. I did, however, wonder at the gullibility of the police - they appeared to accept things at face value and did very little digging of their own into the situation. This is very much Stella's tale. Overall, it was a very different and riveting read. Well-structured and quite straightforward to read, I did enjoy it and am happy to give 4.5*.
