reviewed Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy

Charlotte McConaghy: Wild Dark Shore (Hardcover, 2025, Flatiron Books)

A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on …

Thrilling, beautiful but a bit over dramatised

Read this in German. Very thrilling, lots of mystery and beautiful scenery. The storyline about family and love has most depth, but is overshadowed by the over compressed action storyline which isnt always plausible... For the film into which the book will be turned, this over dramatisation is expected. In the book it is frustrating. A very enjoyable read nonetheless.
