I picked this because I thought the cover was cool, and I'm glad I did. I rolled my eyes at the begining because I wasnt expecting a murder/crime story , but it ended up being a unique horror/mystery with some great elements ;)  I've not read anything from this author before and after this book I will probably check out some of Malfi's other work. The pacing is okay, I didnt find myself getting bored but I wasnt really on the edge of my seat waiting to figure out what comes next. I love the supernatural elements, the multiple POVs, and how the story came together at the end.
