    Little Black Lies by Sharon Bolton
    This tale of sinister and alarming events in the Falkland Islands is both intriguing and disappointing. The descriptions of both the rugged terrain and the "Kelpers" who inhabit them is is quite accurate ( I have been there) but the main characters seem somewhat two dimensional.
    Past events that supposedly cause the protagonists to behave as they do seems farfetched and somewhat contrived. I also found the flash backs and shifting timelines confusing, causing me to reread several passages for clarification. While the final plot twist was a surprise, the work as a whole didn't capture my interest as I had hoped.
