The Auctioneer by Joan Samson
5.0

Dreadful in the best sense of the word

Not often has a novel invoked in me such a sense of dread and suspense, requiring frequent breaks in order to get myself back to sorts. Beautiful in its simplicity but powerful in its modern relevance, I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a story built on human emotion and experience.
