4.0

This made for an interesting read, with a very large cast of characters, a troubled main character, and narration from the POV of Evil itself. The main thrust of the story is a mystery centred around the small village of Hinton Hollow, and it is up to city cop DS Pace to solve it, having returned to his hometown with far too much baggage. The characters are great, although sometimes it felt as though there were far too many. The pacing and how the story unravelled was handled very well, and the voices of the characters were compelling, especially the sinister tone of Evil.
