A review by ajnel
His Favourite Graves by Paul Cleave

dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Cleave has one of the most unique writing styles in the thriller genre and his style usually (as is the case here) finds its outlet in the minds of serial killers and those who 'hunt' them.  The black comedy in this novel, is some of his best work, and on par with his Slow Joe character. It's extremely fast moving with many macabre twists and turns.
