Letters from the Lighthouse by Emma Carroll
Emma Carroll is fast developing a reputation as a writer of novels in historical settings. This mystery is set during WWII.
After an air raid in which their sister disappears, Olive Bradshaw and her little brother Cliff are evacuated from London to a quiet seaside town on the Devon coast. ItÆs all very different to noisy metropolitan life in London but with secret messages, lights at sea and a possible spy, life is anything but quiet!
I really liked this book because the author managed to create something that occurred in history into something that is fiction, It may be made up, but this book was most enjoyable for me, but I also learned from it as well. I would rate this nook 101/100
I loved the time line of the story. It was one of my favourite out of the six the relation ship between Olive and Clive is lovely.
I liked this book because of all the mystery and the fact that its based in WW2. I also liked how the author made Sukie go missing.
When I started reading, I soon found this book slightly boring. The concept of it was pretty simple, and the mystery wasn’t very clear until the book explained what happened in the end.
It’s always good when a book keeps some of its secrets till the end. Glad you kept reading.
