MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteThe Visitors: A Novel, by Simon Sylvester (Melville House, $18.95) “Neil Gaiman meets Tana French in this debut thriller that takes place on a remote island off the coast of Scotland. Flora is as independent, vulnerable, and anxious for adulthood yet yearning for magic in all of its guises as any teen you’re likely to meet in literature. It is no surprise that she is drawn into the mystery of a man and his daughter moving into the abandoned Dog Cottage next door. The braiding of Scottish myth into this tale of suspicious disappearances adds a compelling twist to the wonderfully evocative setting and great cast of supporting characters.” —Sarah Hinckley, Hudson Booksellers, Marietta, GA
