⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Allan Wood delivers a tense, atmospheric thriller that effectively merges police procedural elements with deep psychological horror. The narrative excels in portraying Detective Inspector Bob Buchanan’s gradual deterioration as he abandons standard morality for brutal retribution. By focusing on survival instincts and an 'eat or be eaten' mentality, the book creates a suffocating sense of dread. It is best suited for readers who enjoy dark, gritty tales where protagonists spiral into moral ambiguity. Those seeking lighthearted mysteries will likely find this too intense, but fans of cosmic and psychological horror will appreciate the exploration of sanity against existential danger.
