This is a great introduction to Nicholas Gray's work. It's a lightning-fast listen with fun characters and some thrilling set pieces. The tension ratchets up as the plot reaches its visceral conclusion. Recommended.

This was my first exposure to Duncan Ralston's work, and I'll definitely be checking out more. I thought this was a thoroughly excellent tale blending, as the book itself suggests in a clever moment of self-awareness, the folk horror of Midsommar with the more traditional horror of Rosemary's Baby. The moments of gore are expertly delivered, not focusing on the splatter, but delivering the grisly details with vivid imagery, the characters are well-realised, and the plot moves along at a steady pace, delivering mystery, horror, and a well-told story.

Without giving too much away, Ralston uses his initial threat of a vengeful serial killer to drive his protagonists back home, and that's where things get really weird. Not everything is as it seems, and given the nature of the world today, seeing large groups of people falling for the glamour of charismatic leaders with ulterior motives is part of what makes this so good. You get the feeling that the evils exposed in this book really could exist - and people really would turn a blind eye to it.

All up, it's a great listen. Ralston's style is pinpoint and tight, not wasting words or bothering with overly flowery descriptions while still creating imagery and a tight and engaging plot.

The narration is exceptional and clear. The accents are fun, and the production is crisp.

Loved it.
