Iain Reid writes intrigue better than anyone. With this book, he even uses punctuation as a source of suspense. Seriously. For those who read it, you know what I'm talking about. Every word, every detail, vibrates with mystery. To the point of being driven crazy trying to find out what happens next.
Reid's first novel, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, was so perfect I was honestly scared to read this one. Surely nothing could compare. Thankfully those worries were unnecessary. Both books are masterful.
I wish I could say more about the plot, but don't want to risk giving anything away. Just know that if you like tightly wound mysteries with a hint of sci-fi, you'll eat this up.

"Every word, every detail, vibrates with mystery. To the point of being driven crazy trying to find out what happens next." Absolutely! I could not put it down

Love your review and i feel the same way about Iain's writing. I loved I'm thinking of ending things and this one as well. Writing style was different than usual for me.
I hear he has a 3rd book out called 'We Spread'. Looking foreward to that as well.
