I was hesitant at the beginning few pages of this book but a few chapters in I was hooked. I felt unease throughout every chapter just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Savage does a great job at painting a picture of a world I know little about. Very excited to see Cumberbatch portray Phil in the upcoming Netflix film.
