A thriller with some real chills. Returning to his home town for the first time in 25 years Paul is still haunted by the murder that occurred there in his childhood and with a copycat about he's not the only one finding it hard to forget the town's horrific past.

This is not a tale for the weak-stomached with some truly gory and creepy imagery. It's both well written by Alex North and the audiobook was a great listen (narrated by Hannah Arterton and John Heffernan.)

I did find the ending slightly anti-climatic but I think part of it was the build-up was just so good.

Thanks to Macmillan Audio, the author, and NetGalley for the copy.
