A born skeptic, journalist Joe Oakes believes everything has a rational explanation. He makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes, but when he visits a remote Scottish island and a secretive religious community accused of Satanism, everything he thinks he knows is overturned. What has happened to Pastor Malachi Dove, the leader of the community? Why will no one discuss the strange apparition seen wandering the lonely beaches of Pig Island? The answers will lead Oakes to a confrontation and a bloody aftermath that force him to question whether he might not be responsible for a terrible crime. In this compulsive and disturbing novel, Britain’s “Queen of Fear” dares her readers to face their terror head-on.

This book was wonderfully confusing, creepy and dark. I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews. The only other Mo Hayder book I've read is Gone (Jack Caffery, #5) and I loved that book. This book was not your typical crime novel, but it had the same dark atmosphere as Gone.
I really struggled with what to rate this because I was so frustrated with the end and the lack of closure, but I ended up with the four stars because I think any book that makes me this vexed deserves a high rating. I literally went to my roommate to rant to her about this book.
I will definitely continue to read more of Mo Hayder's books in the future.
Not one for me at all, I'm afraid. the characters were unlikeable, the plot was just terrible. It was just all wrong. I like the Jack Caffrey series so may just stick to that.
