**BOOK REVIEW**
The Undoing of Violet Claybourne by Emily Critchley is the perfect book to read during a heatwave as it’s set in a snowy school holiday! In 1938 Gillian Larkin is invited to spend the school holiday at her friend’s country home. She is dazzled by life at Thornleigh Hall and Violet’s beguiling older sisters. Violet’s behaviour has always been unusual but in her home environment she relaxes and Gillian finds her sisters much more interesting companions. After a tragic incident Gilly has to choose whether to fight for her friend or side with the sisters and loose herself in a new world she never thought she would be a part of… Historical, atmospheric crime at its best with a healthy dose of log fires and deep snow… ♥️♥️
