The Split: The most gripping, twisty thriller of the year (A Richard & Judy Book Club pick)

Reviews

Confusion and a desire to see what happens next pulls and pushes you from one page to the next. Very slowly, in the hands of Sharon Bolton, this is delectable. Just wow! From the depths of the icy island to a golden academic city is quite the transformation and the back and forth both in time and setting really does work well here.

Well, Sharon Bolton has gone one better in this book and takes her readers to the remote island of South Georgia in the middle of the Antarctica. We read about her therapy and her life starts to open up. It was fascinating to learn about the work of the glaciologist and the beached whaling ship. I don’t normally like that style of book usually but it worked so well for this story and it helped to keep the mystery alive.

Thrillers aren’t my go to books so for The Split to captivate as it did tells you just how brilliant it was. I thought that this book was fantastically written the entire way through, it is so gripping you won’t want to put it down for a single second! When a fantastic crime and thriller author takes me to a remote island in her novel, I should be afraid.
