review 1: I'm a huge fan of Marshall (Smith)'s work, but this sequel to Bad Things, one of his previous novels, was a pretty underwhelming read to be honest. It features all the things that make Marshall's books such compelling page turners, but the story lacks the excitement and tension from his previous work. The problem is that, this time, there just isn't much at stake for the main characters and only in the very end the story starts picking up the pace, which is a bit too late. If you're new to Marshall's work a better introduction would be The Straw Men (trilogy), Killer Move or Bad Things.
review 2: A strange tribe of people who live unseen on the margins of the world, haunted by their weird and tragic relationship with particular people in the world but cut adrif... moret and mostly insubstantial. A writer who just caught a big break. A couple working in a bar/restaurant. A wealthy super-mom. These people and more are caught up in this strange underworld they can't even begin to understand. Everything gets spooky and strange and scary and dangerous. And because I've been out in the sun all day (the sun! The sun!) that's all I have to say about that. The core idea pushes it a bit, maybe more suited to a YA book than an adult thriller, but it's the usual good read you get from Marshall (Smith.) less
