I don't have much to say about this book, it was a very well-written crime novel. I was surprised, cause in my experience crime novels tend to have dry and grim prose, but this one had really nice balanced flow and beautiful sentences. I enjoyed the characters a lot, even though we mostly explore our protagonist and we don't dive into others much. That's something I would have enjoyed a bit more from this book, since there's a lot of people involved.
The horror element was very strong here, I loved how disgustingly creepy Mr. Pudd is, extremely well done in my opinion. The author used multiple layers of fear built on fear, with crawling spiders, torture, cult religion, a nightmarish book and a very subtle paranormal presence, that I think added more to the sentimentality of the book other than the horror aspect, and I really enjoyed that.
