Ellie doesn’t know what happened on the road that night. She felt her car bump something, but it was only slight. But now the newsreader on the radio is telling her there was a hit and run on that stretch. Can the two things be connected? Could she really have knocked down and injured an innocent man and not even noticed?
I’d like to thank the publishers for supplying this book, and would recommend it for an easy introduction to psychological thrillers, and a brilliant British setting.
As mentioned earlier, I would recommend the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy to any and everyone - a thrilling adventure that also tackles meaty theological questions. [[Once Upon a Time in the North by Philip Pullman]] is a beautiful little book that expands on the initial trilogy.
And for those loving fantasy, [[The Dagger and Coin: The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham]] is a wonderfully written book by a fantastic author, that - much like ''Son of the Morning'', combines great world building with top-notch characterisation.
