Review of Their Chilling Fall
Aboard the same ship, with the same objectives but different destinations, Jeffrey, his wife, Georgina, his factor, Paddy, and some Scottish immigrants experience a storm that alters their destination. Jeffrey takes charge after seeing the nonchalant attitude displayed by the captain and sees to it that everyone gets to safety, but unfortunately, some still meet their end. The storm washes them to the shore of Louisbourg, which, apart from a man and his daughter, is without civilization. They organize themselves and look out for one another; the bodies of the dead wash up on the shore in broad daylight, having predictably all died by drowning. But something seems amiss with one of the bodies; a careful and thorough examination shows knife wounds, which is an indication of murder. Who could this man be? Why was he brutally stabbed? And who among them is the perpetrator of this act? Follow Jeffrey in this book as he uncovers the truth behind this uncertain death.
Their Chilling Fall by Mary Ann Trail is an amazing romantic thriller set in the 1800s, specifically 1803. The plot was captivating and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole story. I must say that the author deserves an accolade for this masterpiece; the author keeps you guessing unpredictably about the outcome of the story till the end. The chapters were nicely and neatly structured, making it easy to read and navigate the pages of the book. The sentences flowed with such ease that it made the book exciting and fun to read. When the author introduced the characters at the beginning of the book, I felt that there were too many, but I later realized the significant role each character held in the delivery of the story. And despite having numerous characters, there was no form of confusion—that is, no character was mistaken for another.
I can't pinpoint anything that I disliked about this book; in fact, I relished every aspect of it, ranging from the plot to the character development to even the themes. This book contained themes like romance, love, friendship, trust, etc. Although Jeffrey and Georgina were smart and amazing people, my favorite character was the little girl Margaret. She seemed too wise for her age, and she was a smart lot. I found her compassion and skills endearing. And I almost cried at her display of bravery, which was really cute. Also, I found myself laughing, chuckling, and smiling at the intended jokes, and as endearing and fascinating as this book was, it was also soothing, as it made me forget some of my worries.
This book needs another round of editing as I discovered more than ten errors, which will be the reason for the deduction of one star. And therefore, I would rate this book four out of five stars. I will gladly give this book the perfect rating it deserves if these errors are eliminated. The book did contain a few strong words.
Considering the genre and plot of this book, I would recommend it to fans of romantic thrillers, mysteries, and historical fiction. People who love a well-structured and organized story would also enjoy this book.
