joo13's review against another edition
5.0
A damn fine read, especially in British autumn time with the Atlantic storms battering the windows.
The story is set in a sleepy back of beyond town in mid-America. The rains start and show no sign of stopping. The river is rising, the levee looks set to break and there's nowhere for the water to go. The manufacturing plant further upstream is churning out who knows what and is polluting the river.
With the town cut off due to flooding there's something lurking in the water and they are hungry.
I love this author's writing. The story starts off benign, then the tension gets ramped up. It was the perfect time of year to read this book.
