Triskellion by Will Peterson

Triskellion was really different to what I was expectiong, although I'm not sure what I had in mind. The cover speaks of buried bodies and secrets so I was thinking along the lines of a murder scandal or something. But what unfolded was far more interesting.

When Rachel and Adam are sent from their home in New York to spend the summer with their grandmother in the postcard village of Triskellion, things quickly turn darker and more threatening than either could have possibly guessed. This village has been hiding secrets for centuries and Rachel and Adam are compelled to discover them.

I did not want to stop reading this (although I was listing to it in my car on audio book, so I would want to stay in my car after I parked and finished the chapter then was quick to jump in again the next day). So I'd have to agree with those quotes which say it's a 'page turner'.

It may have been my dormant fascination with Celtic Paganism and how this aspect seeps slowly into the story like honey, but I loved it! Right from the start in was well written and engaging, eerie and exciting.

I have to hand it to Teresa Gallagher. When the audio book started and I heard her doing all the voices of the characters (as in: she put on a different voice for each character speaking) I cringed a bit. But it was much better than I thought it would be. when more characters got introduced, almost all of them had a distinct voice that suited them and before long it was almost as if it was a fully cast and dramatised reading of the book. I really enjoyed her rhythmic voice and her phrasing was well suited to the book.

This is the first Audio book I have listened to all the way through and it was a good one.

I look forward to reading the 2nd and 3rd books in this series!
