The book in question. The Ice Twins by S K Tremayne.
Set a year after the tragic death of one of their twins, Sarah and Angus move their surviving daughter to a small island in Scotland called Torran. An island uninhabitable and accessible only by boat.
The book focuses on all three characters and how they have been coping with the tragedy.
Kirsty (the surviving twin) becomes more and more disturbed as the story progresses. Telling everyone that she is Lydia. Not understanding why everyone is calling her Kirsty. She starts to act more like Lydia.
Her actions make Sarah begin to question whether she and Angus made a mistake. Has Lydia been with them all this time? Did Kirsty die?
This book stirred up an emotion in me that I don't usual have when reading. It made me cry. The scenes were we find out the tragic event that led to Lydia's death. The emotions of Sarah and Angus coming to terms with their daughters death. Watching Kirsty struggle with her twins death.
I must admit I was slightly disappointed with the ending, which made me give the book a four star rating on Goodreads. However, saying this if you're after a page turning thriller of a book, then this is the book for you.
Definitely one I would recommend.
