Graveyard Shift by M.L. Rio
4.0
I’ve rarely read a more immediately captivating novella.
A group of five semi nocturnal smokers habitually meet in a disused cemetery in a sleepy college town. One night they’re shocked to find a newly opened grave in their usual haunt. This minor mystery leads to the group spending one fraught night of searching for answers and unravelling a complicated web of deception.
Told from the perspective of its five characters, this novella shines in the interplay between them as well as it’s compelling, finely honed plot. Studded with gorgeous writing and unforgettable metaphors, this book was a finish it in one evening kind of tale.
