The Split: A Novel

An outstanding, intricate story with excellent characters, the description of this book does not do it justice. The Split is the story of a glaciologist named Felicity Lloyd. It starts off with her on an island with her crew in the Antarctic. The author gives us character names, but it is not until the story is backtracked that we realize how crucial each and every person on the island is. Back in Cambridge, Felicity is asked to see a therapist in order to make sure she is fit to go on the trek to the island. What the therapist uncovers is so surreal that even he gets confused at the whos and whats that are happening around him. His new patient, Felicity, has been having blackout episodes that prove to not only be dangerous for her, but possibly to him as well.

The book’s chapters alternate points of view between Felicity, Joe, and another character named Freddie. Things are not what they seem. People are not whom they seem. And until the reader knows what the missing pieces are, the verdict is out on a newly discovered serial killer.

Having read The Split, I am excited to check out the author’s other books. This is the perfect thriller, complete with action and tons of suspense. It’ll keep you guessing until the end!
