review 1: By now I've read all of Bell's books, I'm pretty sure. In no particular order, horror and mystery alike. This book is an odd ball, it's seems to be published as a horror, but, aside from slight supernatural undertones, this is very much a mystery thriller in line with his other works. Similar story, domestic drama, disappearances, small town dynamics, in this particular case a small town with a strong history of ignoring women's rights. It all works well and Bell is a very able author, he sustained the suspense and maintains lightning quick pace, the entire read took about 3 hours. I think I was sort of expecting something more horrific or, baring that, something more mysterious, maybe a nice plot twist or two. Also, some of the main characters came across considerably old... moreer than their ages, but that's neither here nor there. Would have been interesting to learn more backstory about the town's history. Pretty bleak tale, but a fairly compelling one. Made for an entertaining read.
review 2: Preferisco i thriller in cui non si conosce l'identità dell'assassino o i suoi motivi fino alla fine: in questo romanzo invece era tutto piuttosto chiaro fin dall'inizio, a parte il processo che avrebbe portato all'arresto del responsabile. La leggenda alla base di tutta la storia, i suoi aspetti folcloristici ed esoterici avrebbero potuto essere meglio approfonditi, così come i motivi delle visioni della protagonista. La lettura era scorrevole ma non particolarmente emozionante, non ho avuto l'impressione di leggere qualcosa di nuovo e originale. less
