My third and so far favourite of Nevill's books. This book fires at all cylinders, it's short, punchy and fast-paced, reminiscent of a paperback thriller, not usually the kind of thing I go for but Nevill pulls it off with aplomb. The book, if anything, is a little too short. The, ostensible, central villain takes a bit of a sudden turn. Nevill signals it throughout all of their appearances but it needed a scene or two more to sell it. However, the way Nevill turns the typical folk-horror ending on its head was very rewarding. If you like classic nail-biting horror well, few are doing it as well as he is.
