There are chapters told from the perspective of someone or something in a cave too, which give this a creepy feel. From the very start there‘s a feeling of oppression, as though there‘s someone watching just out of sight. Does someone know about the murders or will the community protect itself and keep it‘s dark secrets hidden??

Great characters, beautifully descriptive and a truly menacing, almost stifling atmosphere, utterly compelling.
