I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard this book being described as a literary fiction / horror, but the premise of an undying woman and mysterious deaths connecting her to different people across multiple timelines, did peak my interest.

A chance meeting between two strangers revealed that they both experienced the death of a loved one in unsettling circumstances, involving the same woman. Jake follows any leads he can find across the globe; testimonies of Wives, Father, friends and acquaintances -who can provide further details about this mysterious woman who seems to be the key. There is a method to this Woman's predatory process, but the different characters, their back stories and locations keep interest going. 

This is a slow build timeline, with rich disquiet context shaping which adds to the mundane and unsettling atmosphere. Some scenes are graphic, and unnerving. I did struggle with the lack of quotation marks, but it gave a sense of a undisturbed stream of consciousness which added to the murky and unexplained buildup as Jake begins to piece together what is happening and what to do. 

As a side note, I enjoyed the descriptions around East London, and recognise some local names - always brings me joy to know I have walked through the same places which inspired a scene.
