Tremayne &#8211; book review"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Looks like I\u2019ve found myself another author for my must-read list. S.K. Tremayne\u2019s latest novel <em>The Fire Child<\/em> is everything I want in a psychological thriller. Here\u2019s the blurb:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11914 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Fire-Child.jpg?resize=248%2C400\" alt=\"Fire-Child\" width=\"248\" height=\"400\" \/>When Rachel marries dark, handsome David, everything seems to fall into place. Swept from single life in London to the beautiful Carnhallow House in Cornwall, she gains wealth, love, and an affectionate stepson, Jamie. But then Jamie\u2019s behaviour changes, and Rachel\u2019s perfect life begins to unravel. He makes disturbing predictions, claiming to be haunted by the spectre of his late mother \u2013 David\u2019s previous wife. Is this Jamie\u2019s way of punishing Rachel, or is he far more traumatised than she thought?As Rachel starts digging into the past, she begins to grow suspicious of her husband. Why is he so reluctant to discuss Jamie\u2019s outbursts? And what exactly happened to cause his ex-wife\u2019s untimely death, less than two years ago? As summer slips away and December looms, Rachel begins to fear there might be truth in Jamie\u2019s words: \u2018You will be dead by Christmas.\u2019<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Expect a bit of contemporary Gothic in <em>The Fire Child<\/em>. The story is reminiscent of Du Maurier\u2019s <em>Rebecca<\/em> with its rugged Cornwall setting,\u00a0the lingering presence of a first wife, a secret-bearing family home, and a second wife from a less-privileged background. It\u2019s not a re-write of <em>Rebecca<\/em>, however. It has a touch of the paranormal, plenty of twisty bits, and bucketloads of chill\u00a0factor. As Rachel casts a suspicious eye on her husband, so too do readers. Who do they trust? Rachel? Or David? How reliable is Rachel as a narrator? And is it possible that David\u2019s wife is alive? And how many times will Jamie make you shiver?<\/p>\n<p>Aside from a ripping good story, <em>The Fire Child\u00a0<\/em>gave me an insight into the mining history in Cornwall. I had no idea about this aspect of Cornwall\u2019s history, and this gave the book, and the moody landscape, even more depth of story and even more freaky, creepy elements.\u00a0Recommended for those who like their psychological thrillers with a dash of creepiness.<\/p>\n<p>Available from good bookstores (RRP $34.99).
