Sea Change by J.M. Simpson follows on from the thrilling events of Sea State as a new face shows up in a small Welsh seaside town. Rob Fox is new to Castleby, looking to renovate the climbing centre and rebuild his life after leaving the army and a divorce. I haven’t read Sea State, but I found that Sea Change provided enough background for me to dive into the story with little hesitation. I really liked the sense of community that the author has managed to create throughout this book. Initially from the eyes of a new character in Foxy, then when residents experience challenges or difficulty. I found that whenever I wasn’t reading this story I was looking forward to getting back to it and finding out what would happen next. There are moments of suspense, a slow burning mystery in the background as well as the threat of Jesse’s ex-partner Chris, who vows to track her down. These moments cast a cloud over the town, with a sense of foreboding - a feeling that everything is happy, but not for long. The suspense added a different texture to the plot that kept me intrigued, turning the pagers ever faster as the book was coming to the final pages. Character driven but full of thrills, suspense and drama, this may not be for someone looking for something dark and gritty, but I think it is a perfect quiet Sunday afternoon read. I can't wait to catch up on the first instalment and eagerly await the next.
