What does he really want? Can Helen trust him? And what will happen to her is she succeeds in her quest? An intriguing mystery which builds to a dramatic climax.
3.5 stars. This reminded me a lot of The Mysterious Mr. Ross. A seaside town setting with a slightly old fashioned feeling, a teenage girl with male friend sidekick, a mysterious man and a story with a touch of fantasy. I found this a slightly darker story though.
I just sat down and read straight through this book. I am very happy with the storie, it kept me transfixed to the point that I didn't even realise two hours had about passed. Loved it.
