Book Review
"A dark, twisty, and richly atmospheric exploration of the power of
imagination" --Ruth Ware, author of The Woman in Cabin 10
"Beautifully written and told with a watchmaker's precision" (Stephen
King), Mirrorland is a thrilling psychological suspense novel about
twin sisters, the man they both love, the house that has always haunted
them, and the childhood stories they can't leave behind.
Cat lives in Los Angeles, far from 36 Westeryk Road, the imposing gothic
house in Edinburgh where she and her estranged twin sister, El, grew up.
As kids, they invented Mirrorland, a dark, imaginary place under the
pantry stairs, full of pirates, witches, and clowns. These days, Cat
rarely thinks about their childhood home, or the fact that El now lives
there with her husband, Ross.
But when El mysteriously disappears after going out on her sailboat, Cat
is forced to return to 36 Westeryk Road, which hasn't changed in twenty
years. The grand old house is still full of shadowy corners, and at
every turn Cat finds herself stumbling on long-held secrets and
terrifying ghosts from the past. Because someone--El?--has left Cat
clues: a treasure hunt that leads them back to Mirrorland, where the
truth lies waiting...
A brilliantly crafted story that "feels like the love child of Gillian
Flynn and Stephen King" (Greer Hendricks, #1 New York Times
bestselling author), Mirrorland is a propulsive, page-turning debut
about love, betrayal, revenge--and the price of freedom.
