4.0

Saul continues to be a wonderful author,expertly placed horror and mystery to immediately suck a reader into his story telling. Saul has a very vivid and scenic way of writing, laying out everything for you in such a truly wonderful way that makes it a pleasure to read. Expertly written tense scenes leave the reader practically breathless as they read,holding their breath to see how things turn out.
 So much great mystery happening on multiple fronts that I find myself extremely curious to uncover them. The horror is well placed and leaves the reader feeling quite shocked.
 You get a sense of doubt about a man supposedly guilty about a crime and the story leaves you puzzled as to if he was in fact innocent as he claimed to be and that something much stranger is taking place.
