Blacklands- Belinda Bauer




I was concerned this would be too much for me to read as based around a child's murder, however I unexpectedly enjoyed the book.
Steven Lamb, a 12 year old boy begins to communicate with a serial killer in prison in order to find his uncles missing body, his uncle had disappeared as a boy only a year younger than Steven. He feels that finding the body will in someway mend his grandmothers heart and give some peace. It was unnerving to hear the serial killers thoughts and twisted thinking. The tension built up and left you desperate to have it all end well. Great if you like a psychological thriller and well worth a read even if not your usual choice.
