Gripping. That's definitely one word to describe it! I read this while in Spain, and actually skipped having a dip in the lush sea just so i could continue to read this addictive novel! It's so well written, and gets you guessing the whole way through. Slowly through the story it reveals the reasons behind the killings and is a very clever tale.

Although i thoroughly enjoyed the book, i was a bit dissapointed with one aspect. See, i bought the book as i truly love horrors. Books or movies, anything to get me sitting on the edge of my seat (or rather, retreating back into it hiding behind a pillow...) ;) So when i read the description of the book i thought it would be really scary about a crazy person killing innocent people, but actually, the more and more things get revealed, the less scary it becomes and more sad. Which is good for some but not particulary my cup of tea.

Anyway, definitely worth a try! Go for it!
