Mystery Editorial Review
The Impossible Thing A Joyful, Captivating New Mystery From The Sunday Times Bestselling Author Of Snap is an intriguing novel by Belinda Bauer that expertly intertwines two linked storylines, one set in the early twentieth century and the other in the present day. Vivid descriptions bring to life the unique world of egg collecting, where whole families once survived by mining cliffs for rare birds' eggs. As the plot unfolds, the theft of a fabled egg known as the Metland Egg introduces layers of suspense, humor, and emotional depth. Readers will appreciate the rich character development and the author’s ability to blend darkness with wit, creating a memorable reading experience.
