This book has taken me so long to finish. The first 49% I was skipping drawn out descriptions. Finally about halfway through I was interested enough to finish it. Not very exciting.

I did not finish. I could not get into this book. It simply didn't work for me.

I was already a fan of SK Tremayne having read the Ice Twins last year and his second novel did not disappoint! This book was genuinely terrifying. Not only did it keep me up at night, but I found myself having to read something light afterwards before I could get to sleep - a haunting and compelling read from undoubtedly one of the most exciting voices in crime/psychological thrillers.

A disappointing follow-up to The Ice Twins, with a meandering plot that never really coalesced and a lot of descriptive passages that brought nothing to the atmosphere.
