Oh my goodness...
That was a truly terrifying ghost story. Perfect for spooky October. Brrrr....
Wow! So much creeping dread. I love the atmosphere of England and especially the moors. I think it is set between WWI and WWII. The language fits the time period and increases the scare. It is slowly creeping action and it really gets in your head. And the ending is not clear. More than once I thought if we just had the internet this would be so much easier. By the end I thought if we had internet I would have answers! Very atmospheric and memorable.
I don't think the author played out this story as well as she could have. In searching for his family history, James is also searching for information on his hero, but his hero has a darker side that was kept hidden from public view. In telling the story the author never really fully explains some of the twists hat she use in the plot and leave the reader scratching their head in wonder. One has to wonder if the author ran out of time to add to her story, but it would have been a better plot and a more fulfilling ending had she taken time to play it out. Very poor ending and to many things left undone to be a good book
As with the previous books I've read by this author “The Mist in the Mirror” is a well written, atmospheric tale that draws the reader in. However,I found the ending disappointing. It left a lot of unanswered and appeared to have been rushed.
