Lighter on horror, at least until the very end, I think this story makes for an excellent introduction to Kingfisher’s style. For those readers who are already fans, it’s another one to love. Sam is the first character from this author that I can relate to personally and that was such a nice surprise. I love the humor throughout, it plays so well against the creepiness of the slow burn mystery. The use of vultures was so cool too. I’m not usually a fan of birds, but I have more respect for those scavengers of the skies.
