My review :- a bone chilling page turner that hooks you up right from the beginning till the end. I was so engrossed in William Watt's story that I read the book in one sitting. The plot was captivating and enticing, not to mention the absolutely fantastic and engaging prose that flowed well through out the story. I loved it and would recommend it to everyone who reads mystery. The plot twists were fantastic and left me wanting for more of the story. I have my fingers crossed for a sequel.
