Sixteen Horses by Greg Buchanan
4.0
With thanks to Greg Buchanan and Pan Macmillan for an advanced readers copy of this book.
I've thought about this review for a long time and I can't cant fine a better word than uncomfortable. This book made be incredibly uncomfortable.
The writing is fantastic, dream like and almost lyrical. The story itself is gripping driven by a pair of really interesting and well developed main characters (Forensic vets! who knew they were a thing!). The setting itself of a struggling seaside town really helps to set the atmosphere. However there is a lot of animal cruelty in this book, and its very graphic in places, I'm not usually bothered by violence in a book but this really stopped me from getting as lost as I could have been in it.
