it focusses on actual Francis not Hannibal so don’t expect stuff about Hannibal even though they put his name all on the front cover he’s just a minor character.

As a long-time fan of the Hannibal series, I found the book just as interesting. It is as gritty and unhinged as you would imagine a book about a serial killer would be. With that said, the story is teetering on the edge of being dated. (In some instances, it reads exactly as you would imagine people would talk from its publication time.) But I digress, the excitement of the cat and mouse chase being the main driving force of the book while Hannibal lurks in the background. A solid recommendation for anyone who may be on the fence about reading it.

Will Graham is right, in the end. It is not the places that are haunted, but the people.
