I don’t actually know how I’d describe this story, except that I actually really enjoyed it.
The confusion comes when I try to put it in a genre. I honestly don’t know if I’ve just read a very clever supernatural book, and it must be clever because I don’t read like that type of story.
Or, a bit of an off-the-wall crime thriller.
Either way it’s a good story.
So whether you are a Stephen King, or a James Patterson fan you’ll probably like to give this one a go.
When a murder occurs in a locked house, with just the victim and her husband inside it seems like an open and close case. The husband did it, lock him up.
But the husband denies the crime, and whilst he’s still locked up a second, similar murder takes place.
Detective John Dark has been in the wilderness of investigations low level crime since his demotion for going off the rails whilst investigating the disappearance of his own daughter.
But he, and his partner Monique, are brought in to investigate the first murder. The bosses want it sorting out quickly, but Dark isn’t going to take the easy route. He is convinced the suspects are guilty of the murders, but he’s also convinced they have no idea they’ve murdered their spouses.
So who is controlling these people, and what links the victims.
That’s where things get a bit strange.
I picked this book up on NetGalley, and maybe I didn’t read the gumph correctly.
On Amazon it’s clearly described as a supernatural thriller.
Had I seen this I wouldn’t have picked the book up.
That would have been a mistake because at the end of the day I really enjoyed it.
