Ghost Island, the fourth book in the Jessica Niemi series, sees Jessica have to take an enforced leave. To get away from it all and clear her head, she travels to a secluded island where she has booked a room in its guest house. It's not long before she finds herself caught up in a murder investigation.
Anyone who has read the first three books will know that this is a dark series, with hints of the supernatural. Ghost Island, thanks to its atmospheric setting, is an eerie read. Niemi's ongoing struggle with her mental health, and the losses she has endured, lend an air of sadness to the story, as does the the history of the island she is staying on.
A twisty plot, and a dual timeline make Ghost Island compulsive reading.
