I enjoyed this book a lot. It had a lot of elements that other thrillers tend to shy away from. This book was very graphic in terms of both sex and murder but Marwood did not pile on the graphicness in a way that made the book unappealing as a whole. If you want a good, spine tingling read and you can handle a bit of well-described gore and voyeurism then definitely check this one out.
Graphic: Violence and Murder
Moderate: Body horror, Death, Domestic abuse, Gore, Rape, Terminal illness, Torture, Blood, Vomit, Stalking, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
