I don’t know why I thought Selkie Moons story was told…but there was more to come and I love it.

MY REVIEW

I was under the impression the series was over with The Third Note…but not so. I don’t know why I thought that, but I am happy to be spending more time with these unusual and intriguing characters.

Selkie and Alister are in Hong Kong, looking for Deshi, Alister’s son who was kidnapped thirty years ago. It seems to be an impossible task, but Selkie has an unusual talent that will be necessary to find him, and face the dangers that are ahead.

I love when there is a cultural element involved, especially when it involves the paranormal, and I do love Selkie and her friends. Virginia King does a great job writing about the Chinese mysticism that saturates the pages.

The Fourth Door is more about Alister and their search for his son. Who’s trying to prevent them from finding him and how far will they go?

Chinese sorcery, psychic visions, the paranormal and supernatural, love and hate…

I have loved reading this series and was on a serious reading binge, so maybe I was on a bit of a reading burnout, because I flip flopped between a 3 and a 4 rating. I kept putting it down and picking it up again, my mind wandering. I think current events could have played a part. Couldn’t make up my mind, yet I am excited about more to come…so a 4 it is.

Next stop…Chile…and I’m looking forward to being along for the ride.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Fourth Door by Virginia King.

GOODREADS BLURB

Thirty years ago, a baby boy was kidnapped …

When Selkie Moon travels to Hong Kong to discover his fate, she has high hopes of using her psychic twinges to find him and reunite him with his father. Until the tea leaves on her flight make a chilling prediction.

Then in a Kowloon night-market she witnesses a child abduction – and the echoes with her quest suddenly raise the stakes.

As the strange events escalate and reach back into Chinese folklore, Selkie is compelled to confront the powerful force that’s hell bent on stopping her. The omens are unmistakable. Someone is going to die.

Someone closest to her?

Or Selkie herself?

ABOUT VIRGINIA KING

When a voice wakes you up in the middle of the night and tells you to write a mystery series, what’s a writer to do? That’s how I came to create Selkie Moon, after a massage from a strange woman with gifted hands was followed by this nocturnal message. I sat down at the keyboard until Selkie Moon turned up — a modern woman with a mythical name. Soon I was hooked, exploring far-flung places full of secrets where Selkie delves into psychological clues tangled up in the local mythology.

Before Selkie Moon invaded my life, I’d been a teacher, an unemployed ex-teacher, the author of over 50 children’s books, an audio-book producer, a workshop presenter and a prize-winning publisher. These days I live in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney with my husband, where I disappear each day into Selkie Moon’s latest mystery. Bliss.
