Book Review - The Lost Village by Camilla Sten

  

Alice Lindstedt is a documentary filmmaker who has been obsessed with finding out the truth behind "The Lost Village". In 1959, all the residents of the old mining town disappeared including, her grandmother's entire family. No one has been able to determine what happened to the residents and so many questions have been left unanswered.

There were only two survivors from the tragedy - a woman who was stoned to death and an abandoned newborn. Alice gathered a small group of friends to visit the remote village and to make a film on what really happened.

When they arrived to camp, they noticed strange things happening. Equipment is destroyed, people go missing, and they keep hearing noises in abandoned buildings. One thing becomes increasingly clear to the team is that they are not alone.

The book was a suspenseful and entertaining read. I felt like I was among the characters waiting for something to happen because it took awhile before anything happen. The book provided a nice scary dark atmosphere but, didn't really deliver on thrills. I am torn on the ending because I am not sure it's plausible. Overall, I did enjoy the book and I would read more books by the author.
