My Book Love for Steve Griffin’s The Boy in the Burgundy Hood

I bought a signed copy of this book direct from the author who I have got to know through Instagram.

It had a slow start but OMG what an ending!!!

I read this book in the evenings, in bed, over a couple of weeks and it wasn’t until I got to the second part of the book that I became totally engrossed in what was coming next.

The first part of the book was a little slow for me, less mysterious. However the descriptions of the setting and the old mansion were beautiful and I did enjoy these – proof there is a place for Tell not Show and Steve capitalised on these parts of the story with detail and precision. Clearly a lot of research went into the writing of the story.

The story, as it unfolded, did not disappoint! Alice certainly had quite a time of it at Bramley House and though ghost visitations and experiences are present in the story I would say this is more of a mystery book with an incredibly satisfying ending! Omg! Well done Steve.
