1945. After disgracing themselves at a high society party, spoilt young Philadelphia socialites Maddie and Ellis Hyde are cut off from the family without a penny. Ellis decides their salvation will be to hunt down the Loch Ness Monster, a venture his father very publicly failed at. So, oblivious to WW2 raging around them, they make their way to the Scottish Highlands, where Maddie has to face reality and decide just who the real monsters are.
My Review
This was an enjoyable read - not a great read, but an enjoyable one. The characters came across as very real in the telling, but for me, the ending seemed a bit rushed as if the author had a deadline that she was struggling to meet. Having read Water for Elephants, which was absolutely superb, this novel was a bit of a let down. Nevertheless, I will continue to read books by this author.
