About this ebook
Desperate to escape her dangerous husband, Ruth flees Texas for a small village on the coast of Cornwall when her daughter Annie was two. Living under assumed names, Ruth and Annie have managed to create a sense of security in the ten years they’ve lived in sleepy Perrin's Point. But when Annie is kidnapped from the beach one day, Ruth’s life is thrown into a tailspin. And when a child’s body washes up on the shore wearing Annie’s clothes, all assume the worst. Meanwhile a killer prepares to lure Ruth into the web of lies he's created to finally rid himself of his mother's vicious ghost.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love mysteries set in small English villages. This was an enjoyable one although one can probably guess who the perpetrator is quite early on. The author tries to throw a few red herrings in front of us but also gives some quite useful clues.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Deadly Thyme is a mystery set in a quaint Britain village that follows the investigation into the abduction and imprisonment of a ten-year-old girl.
Although the first few pages of the novel disclose why the girl was taken and where she is, this did not deflect from the mystery because the antagonist’s true name is not revealed. You are kept guessing who it might be, and there are a number of suspects woven into the plot.
Nolan managed the multiple point of views well, allowing the reader a peek into key characters’ perspectives by clearly illustrating their unique thought patterns. She managed to show the antagonist without giving enough clues to easily surmise the identity. However, there were two short passages where the story switched to omniscient narrator, which felt a bit disjointed. Nevertheless, the characters were all described very well – unique quirks and all. Spots of humour brought interesting insights into each character’s personality, effectively creating a diverse cast. I found some of the dialogue stiff in places, felt like overkill to include British slang and regional dialect, but the descriptions of the settings were imaginative and well-researched.
I would recommend this novel to mystery buffs and would read another book by this author.
