Cold water by Samuel Parker

3*

This book is about a man who did something terrible when he was young and although he served the time, the stain on his soul obviously runs deep because on return to his hometown, he is hounded out and threatened at every turn but unbeknownst to his antagonisers, he has a strange power.
This novel gave me mixed feelings, I enjoyed it until the end where I was left feeling slightly confused and disappointed.
The plot was solid and evenly paced if a bit slow at times, but the language was good and you got a feel for the main characters, however, by the end of the book I was left wondering why things were as they were, what caused Michaels powers and where exactly did they come from, why him?
Too many unanswered questions unfortunately.
