Review
A dark and sinister tale that will definitely give you the creeps. When a Cambridge Don’s daughter goes missing in London in the ’70s, his world falls apart. Her body is discovered not long after and sinister events follow.
This atmospheric horror is a compelling read but I found once I knew what the secrets were as if it was a bit of an anticlimax. I cannot fault the creepiness or chills I encountered reading this though. Not particularly graphic compared to what’s available to read in the mainstream these days. Not for the faint hearted or for those who spook easily.
