Review: Wrath

Wrath by Marcus Sedgwick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cassie has always been different, but during the pandemic shut down she admitted that she hears things.  She believes that it is the Earth calling out because of all the bad things being done to it.  Shortly after school lets out, Cassie disappears.  Fitz wants to help find her, but he isn’t sure what to do first.  He gives information to the police, but they don’t seem to act on his information.  Will Fitz find out the truth about Cassie’s disappearance?

Wrath is a very short stand-alone mystery that was almost too short.  This novel would be perfect for reluctant readers that don’t want to commit too much time and energy into a story, but if a bibliophile picks it up, they should be ready to just sit down for 90 minutes and get it finished.  The clues lead the characters around Scotland and the ending is complete, but not quite satisfying.  Wrath was a good quick escape read but isn’t a first choice to recommend for everyone.
