Rhiannon
A fast-paced horror-thriller that starts as a childhood abduction trauma story but evolves into a complex tale with an unreliable, but very likable, narrator, Josh, who may have had far more (possibly nefarious) involvement in his own childhood abduction that he can't seem to remember. There's a mysterious cult-y group of rich folks, buried bodies, a serial murderer...
...and maybe something even worse...
There definitely seems to be some real-life conspiracy theory inspiration to some of the story – I'm thinking of all the stuff that's been permeating the online world the last ten years – with rich cabalistic satanic worshippers and all that.
Howard does a very good job of holding your interest throughout and right to the very last page, peeling back layers and layers of the horrifying puzzle, as Josh tries to hold on to himself and the life he thinks he's been leading amidst mounting dread and terrible revelations.
