This is my first book by Marcus Heitz I've read and what an introduction. Well researched and blends horror, thriller and then some historical elements all combined into this excellent book. Good characters and plenty of chills along the way. Thanks to Quercus book and Netgalley for this review ARC.

This was quite an interesting read, but it didn't really resonate for me, which is a real shame and I'm not sure why. I've seen some people say that they didn't like the main character but him being so morally grey made sense, although it didn't make him very likeable. I'm not sure if any of the characters were likeable, maybe that was the problem for me. I really don't know. The historical aspect was fascinating and I appreciated the index at the back with all of the research. I think this will be really popular with the right audience, unfortunately that wasn't me.
