The Dark by Emma Haughton (Hodder & Stoughton)

 Kate North starts to work as a replacement emergency doctor at the UN research station in Antarctica. The previous doctor died in a tragic climbing accident. But, was really just an accident?

Only a small group stays through winter at research station and not every psyche is robust enough to deal with the extreme isolation. Minor issues can easily escalate into major feuds, hostilities break out over a simple misunderstanding. There is someone dangerous on the station, someone they couldn't trust.

Stunning, captivating and atmospheric thriller. Freezing temperatures, constant darkness, snow and nerves on the edge.

The electrifying debut thriller of 2021.

Highly recommended.

4/5
