Though I thought this book had some pretty predictable twists, it was still an enjoyable and quick read. Definitely something I would recommend for fans of thrillers, gore and the English country side.

I really liked the science part of the book and the general idea of the plot. I also kind of like the main character. However, the reveal of the main perpetrator and their motives was a bit dull.
