"A subtle and disturbing novel that straddles genres"
5 stars"

Review by Craig on 19th March, 2020

McDougall artfully keeps readers off balance as events unfold, threading together plenty of drama with strands of crime, romance, and the supernatural. There’s a subtlety to McDougall’s slim novel, which is deceptive and disturbing. Sparkling prose is cut with staccato bursts of violence. Tess offers tangled relationships with plenty of tensions.

Description

In the silence she could hear the oncoming hum, like a large flock approaching. She didn't want to hear his story; she'd had enough of them. Tess is on the run when she's picked up from the side of the road by lonely middle-aged father Lewis Rose. With reluctance, she's drawn into his family troubles and comes to know a life she never had. Set in Masterton at the turn of the millennium, Tess is a gothic love story about the ties that bind and tear a family apart.
