Review: THE SPLIT by Sharon Bolton

3 Stars

Antarctica is my favorite unseen location in the entire globe, and I've admired Sharon Bolton 's novels from the beginning.  So I had really high hopes and expectations for THE SPLIT. Divided majorly into three sections,  with the first and third set on Antarctica's incredible South Georgia Island,  and the center section set in Cambridge,  England.  From the first section we expect a Suspense thriller including a lot of "Man vs. Nature" scares (of which there's plenty) and the third section is purely psychological thriller.  The center section,  in Cambridge,  is more psychological plus police procedural plus murder mystery. 

Oddly, the center section left me out in the cold. I kind of wish the author had just stuck to Antarctica and used Cambridge as backstory.
