This book is very strange. It is scary and suspenseful, though there aren't any car chases nor scenes of our heroine being stalked by a killer. Instead the dark tone of the book comes from some very disturbing imagery and characters, believably described.

It seems that every character in this book has issues, and the author does not hint at any hope of redemption for any of them. All the characters aer interesting though, and you will gasp as more of their secrets are revealed.

If you are looking for an offbeat mystery/thriller then this might be a good choice for you... but be forewarned that some of the scenes stayed with me for days (and not in a good way).
