Cult horror director Stanislas Cordova hasn't been seen in public since 1971. When his daughter Ashley is found dead in a believed suicide, journalist Scott McGrath is not convinced. For McGrath, another death connected to the legendary director seems more than a coincidence. Driven by revenge, curiosity and a need for the truth, he finds himself pulled into a hypnotic, disorientating world which begins to threaten his grip on reality.

I know everyone loves this book, but I just found it a little long and unnecessarily so. I found some areas enjoyable but found the actual mystery of Cordova and his Daughter kind of dragged. The narrative felt like it was somewhat out of focus. Characters would just sort of show up and give exactly enough narrative as they should. Also it did not scare me one bit. One thing I will say is that the performance by Jake Weber was fantastic.

Perfect story. This is a detective -investigative piece. intriguing throughout, the main three characters provide a wonderful balance of hard boiled detective, streetwise kid and iNgenue. The story brings us on a tour of New yorks underbelly . Nothing is certain. Every encounter is fascinating. I could not reccomend this more

enthralling

A Marlow-esque detective story that transforms into a psychological thriller, great narrator, all the characters have fascinating back stories.

Gripping "noir" with a supernatural twist

Loved this book so much, made me feel like it was a true story and I was in it, they should make movie about this.

Amazing

It’s been 3 months and still I think about this book despite listening to many others since. It felt a little slow in the beginning but the narrator was brilliant and soon I was hooked! Creepy, ambiguous, unsettling and thrilling. Twists I didn’t see coming and vivid characters, I still feel unsettled by Cordova. This book and narration has very easily become a top favourite!

I can’t stop thinking about this book
