‘The Locked Attic’ by B P Water

I was really liking this book right up to about three-quarters of the way through…

I liked the structure, it jumped back and forwards in time, but worked really well.

I liked the characters; it moved between Stephanie and her son Danny, again this really worked well.

I liked the opening; a strange explosion at a power station that brought the characters together.

Then I got three-quarters of the way through it…

The explosion at the beginning? That was it. Nothing more about it. Questions left unanswered.

The title: The Locked Attic. It was barely mentioned, and only appeared in the last few pages, and then it was all a bit ridiculous.

Really good in places. But ultimately disappointed.

That’s the first week of January done.

Today’s run was a late afternoon little dash around the village before it got dark. The standard RED mileage: 3 miles.

7 days. 7 runs. 23.5 miles.
