Dark ans suspenseful, filled with memorable characters and almost palpable tension.
I watched the recent miniseries towards the end of 2018 and enjoyed it and wanted to read the book. It was interesting enough, but not great. It seemed unfocused a lot of the time and trying too hard. I'm not quite sure how people thought it was a true story...
Young girls disappear
death and destruction follow
“cursed” sounds sensible.
would rather snort crushed up shards of glass than ever read this again
