All is Clam

It’s Christmas at The Shores. There’s no snow yet, but there are so many outdoor lights that the tiny coastal village can be seen from space. Apart from Ian Simmons’ place, and he’s considered odd, there’s only one house in the village that isn’t lit up. It’s been dark for years. That’s about to change. Wild Rose Cottage is about to come to life, and death, once again. Meanwhile, the villagers wish for snow to complete the Christmas portrait. When it comes, it’s with the body of newcomer, Fitz Fitsimmons, a former acrobat turned bully and drunk. Mountie Jane Jamieson has seen murder here before, but none where she’d rather not catch the killer.

All is Clam

“All is Clam” by Hilary MacLeod was one heck of a thriller! It wasn’t easy to fully engage with the book in the beginning, but finishing the book was totally worth it.

The story is set in The Shoes, a tiny coastal village where all the gossip begins and doesn’t take long to spread. Where everyone knows everyone, knows their houses by names, and where not a single secret is safe. More like not a single person is safe. The Wild Rose Cottage is the house where all murder incidents occur, and has never been lit up on Christmas day for years. It had been abandoned since who knows how long? Had the Sullivan’s family generation been cursed? Who were these new people living in the Wild Rose Cottage? Were they here to continue the murder legacy?

The novel takes you through different perspectives of the villagers, and a captivating journey of solving the murder mystery. Had it been an accident? Or a murder? Only God knew. I resonated with many of the characters and their ways of thinking and view of life.

Hilary MacLeod’s writing was very sentimental and captivating. It was unpredictable and when it shot bullets, it never missed. I love how throughout the novel, Hilary MacLeod would discuss very heavy topics within the storyline, which made my heart sink each time.

I recommend this book to whoever is looking for a good Christmas thriller, and is willing to bear the heaviness of thoughts in this book.

I recommend this book.
