Many thanks to NetGalley, Celadon Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by Alex North, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Shane Zaza. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4.5 stars!
Dan Garvie’s life has been haunted by the crime he witnessed as a child and the fact that he narrowly escaped an encounter with a notorious serial killer. He has dedicated his life since to becoming a criminal profiler, eager to seek justice for innocent victims. When his father passes away under suspicious circumstances, Dan revisits his small island community, determined to uncover the truth about his death. Is it possible that the monster he remembers from his childhood nightmares has returned after all these years?
Alex North has done it again – created a creepy, scary story to immerse yourself in. This one has such a unique perspective too; it’s told in the voices of both a father and son, each dealing with trauma and guilt over their actions/non-actions decades before and how things could have been different. This goes beyond just a spine-tingling thriller and becomes emotional and thought-provoking as well. But don’t worry – it’s scary because it feels so real and we all know that there are monsters lurking!
