This is my first Heidi Perks book but I loved it and wish now that I'd read her earlier books too. I was first attracted by the remote island setting. Evergreen is a very small island off the south coast with only just over 100 residents. Everyone knows everyone else which is great if you all get on but not so good if you don't.

Stella Harvey's family left there in a hurry in 1993 when she was 11. She never knew why she, her mother and father, brother and sister, had to rush off in the middle of a storm but they never returned to the island, something that Stella has never been able to get over as she absolutely adored living there.

Now, a body has been found buried close to her childhood home and it makes her examine all that she thought she knew, about her family, her friends and her life there. She finds herself compelled to return to the island and to involve herself in the mystery of the body.

Like so many good psychological thrillers, Stella is returning to something from her past and there are loads of secrets from that time for her to uncover. Nothing is what she thought it was and I found the unfolding of events really gripping. In fact, I practically inhaled this book and couldn't stop turning those pages as fast as I could. I needed to know why the Harvey family left the island the way they did, who the body is, what happened to them and more.

The island is the stand out character for me here. With the use of the map (who doesn't love a book with a map?) I could visualise the place which is portrayed with so much atmosphere by Heidi Perks. It makes for a very claustrophobic backdrop to the story, the perfect accompaniment to the story.

I'll definitely read more by this author. Come Back For Me is an exciting and compulsive read with more twists and turns than a fairground waltzer. Loved it. ( )
