I decided to read The Lost Village because I was in the mood for a creepy story to match the rainy weather. To my disappointment this novel is barely creepy and I disliked almost everything about it. There was far too much exposition in the beginning of the novel - and yet we didn’t actually learn what the mystery was until nearly a third of the way into the book. The protagonist was far too unlikeable for my taste; I actively hated her for the entirety of the book. And the ending wasn’t worth my time at all. So disappointing. (

“The murder. The baby. The pastor.”

The title says it all. In 1959, 900 people from the town of Silvertjärn just disappeared. Sixty years later, a group of people are determined to discover why.

The story is told through two different timelines - Now and Then. I didn’t like Alice, the narrator of the Now chapters, at all. And I actually didn't really like anyone in the Now chapters. I could have done with much more of the Then storyline. And in the end, it really wasn't all that much of a mystery. Just really bad investigation efforts by the authorities of the Then timeline. (

"Blair Witch Project meets Midsommar" was what brought me. This is probably going to be a movie at some point. A movie which will be better with commercial breaks added in so that you can blame those for missing tension and stare at the village scenery, which will probably be pretty eerie and awesome. To be completely honest, without ruining the plot, one detail turned me against the author and the book-- the discovery that one of the characters takes Abilify is used to demonize and outcast the person as "psychotic". Are you kidding? Then the medical falsehoods keep rolling. This character can't take Advil with Abilify. Missed a dose of Abilify? Welcome to Drooling and Singing Insanity. NOPE. That is not how this works.
Aside from that, the plot was sparse. (

Alice is a two-penny filmmaker who has had a passion to produce a documentary about an old mining town where her grandmother's family lived. In 1959, the entire town just disappeared leaving only a dead woman and a baby. Alice sets off with a skeleton crew to see if she can discover clues to what really happened. When they arrive in the town, there are only remains, buildings barely standing and yet something is living there. I loved the characters in this book. The plot keeps pulling you forward and there are some good twists. The forward to the book is most helpful in setting the scene. I think it could make for great discussion in a book club!

(Forward) When I first set out to write The Lost Village, I wanted to write a book just for me - a book I would enjoy writing.

August 19, 1959, It was a stiflingly hot August afternoon, so much so that the breeze coming in through the open windows did almost nothing to lift the swelter inside the car.
