A review by like_unto_a_leopard
The Beast of Kukuyo by Kevin Jared Hosein

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

I picked this book up at the library because I had never read a novel that took place in Trinidad and was rewarded with a gritty murder mystery that totally blew me away with veering plot twists and beautiful, rhythmic prose.
