What a great debut for C. J. Tudor! If you enjoy a nice murder suspense novel, you’ll definitely like this one. As others have said, it has a sort of Stand By Me feel and I was often reminded of the group of kids from IT - down to the one tom-boy girl with red hair.

I felt it really difficult to sleep when reading this novel because every chapter ends with a tiny cliffhanger that begs me to keep reading. Not such a bad thing, I suppose.

I loved the characters. Without going into spoiler detail, there is a touch of morbidity surrounding everything in this novel, which is right up my alley.

Overall, this book was great and I definitely have, and will continue, to recommend it to others.
