“This novel is spine-tingling, haunting, and will have lovers of gothic mystery begging for more. The characters are raw, interesting, and relatable as the police service navigates new members and the complexity of long-standing ones. At the heart of A Place of Secrets is a sweet sentiment wrapped in silver linings and dipped in darkness, and all as cold as the winter days it takes place over.”
