thoughts on “ With The Split, Sharon Bolton, Rewrote All The Rules I Thought I Learned About Adult Psychological Thrillers”As is clear from the above, this is a novel that puts Flint right at the heart of the action, and one in which Flint’s own life becomes inextricably bound up with the lives of the criminals that she hunts – and those of her victims. This is a theme of the other Lacey Flint novels as well. So, let’s now turn to the next novel in the series, which is entitled ‘If Snow Hadn’t Fallen’. This one is based in Cambridge, England, and the remote Antarctic island of South Georgia. Our protagonist, Felicity, is an expert in glaciers. Not interested in glaciers? No problem. Neither was I when I started. See my star rating. Amongst other interesting characters, we have Freddie. Freddie is after Felicity for uncertain reasons; Felicity lives in dire fear of Freddie. Then there is Joe. Joe is a psychiatrist who is trying to understand Felicity. But Felicity has secrets that even she herself doesn’t realize. The story ultimately becomes a thrilling chase for survival in a terrifying milieu of ice, water, and misunderstandings. Enough said. You know something has broke me in the best of ways or I’m about to go salty when I give you the summary of a book because I NEVER give the summary of a book.

Part 1: Takes place on the remote South Georgia Islands located between the Falklands and Antarctica. This isolated isle has no permanent residents. There are approximately 16 scientists at the research station over the winter months. In summer tourists come by ship as it is known for its rugged beauty, spectacular scenery, mountains, frigid weather and churning seas, glaciers, fjords, and the chance to see thousands of King Penguins and elephant seals. The setting is vividly described. The nearest police are in the Falkland Islands 1,390 kms away.Sharon Bolton (previously S. J. Bolton) is the critically acclaimed author of some of the most bone-chilling crime books ever written. She has been shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger for Crime Novel of the Year and the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year. In 2014 she won the CWA Dagger in the Library for her whole body of work. Thrillers are a genre I rarely read; my life is thrilling enough in a troublesome sort of way. This is why I found The Split by Sharon Bolton a pleasant surprise, from the get-go. It’s not a spoiler to say that the novel’s title can also stand for Felicity’s mental condition. She has issues with losing time, sometimes finding herself in places she doesn’t remember going to—even waking up covered in blood. Joe asserts that Felicity is extremely troubled, but it takes time and a few very interesting hypnosis sessions before he realizes exactly what he is dealing with. He throws himself too far into her case and puts himself in serious danger by doing so. It’s suspenseful and fascinating and makes you forget all about the Antarctic opening—until we jump forward again in time. Masquerading as a vulnerable and depressed student, the only person who knows Lacey’s real identity is Psychiatrist Evi Oliver—or so they think. He is aware that the victims are all boys, just like him, and that their lifeless bodies were discovered on the nearby river banks.

Wonderful review Lynne, I also love reading her books. The setting of Antarctica is very interesting as it is probably one of the remotest areas left in the world. I am looking forward to reading this one and finding out what that last twist was. It is also actually fantastic timing because, while the review was written, I didn’t have an introduction because I had no earthly clue as to how I was going to start. This gave me a place to do so. It also gives me another point of reference for you. If I blow up the above picture?

Imprisoned for the kidnapping and killing of three young women, he receives numerous letters from adoring fans on a daily basis. Mental illness, such as that suffered by Felicity, features frequently in thrillers. Why do you think this is, and does it ever feel exploitative? I would absolutely read her next and since this was my first Bolton, I
