A review by wendoxford
Death and the Seaside by Alison Moore

5.0

Didn't like it...then I did.. A spiders web of deceptions and stories within stories, past and present all coalescing. Or is it simpler of more complex? For a short novel this had me in a page turning spin. Every character is irritating and yet the devil is in the descriptive detail.
I was there in this story or its parallel reality and/or fictions. The book ends suddenly but just in the right way, half-expected yet completely unexpected. Haunting and deceptively dense. Feel it will continue to slap me around the face for a while to come!
