My thoughts:
I originally thought this would be a straightforward thriller, with an obvious murder and a search for justice. But it’s a much weirder, darker story. Aidan gets completely out of his depth with a Satanic cult, and loses his wife and almost his baby daughter. It’s a twisted plot, and definitely for adult readers.
Despite my ambivalence over some of the sex scenes the plot zips along and the short chapters make it an easy read.
