5.0

Stunning book, highly evocative and great characters. Good twist. (Suspect if set in modern times, plot would annoy me as the usual young women serial killer blah, but as it is this is a stand out of the year for me). Violence not gratuitous (sexually, anyway - quite a lot of general thumping, wallowing and shooting).
