I definitely went along with this story with some expectations of good guys, bad guys, and the heroes of this novel but my god, expect the unexpected! There were some obvious character journeys, but others came completely out of the blue. The actions of so many made me physically angry and shocked.
Not since Rosemary’s Baby have I despised characters as much as I did in this novel. This book shines because of the characters. I ended up being so glad that McDowell went into all that detail. After all the boredom I felt of getting to know the characters, I turned that annoyance on its head. I found this a little tedious at the start and wasn’t sure how much I was going to love this.įortunately, I ended up loving this one. It’s slow to start because it aims to really set the scene of how out in the middle of nowhere Evelyn and Jerry Larkin live, plus it wants us to get to know the characters before the story ramps up. I’m always very picky about the voices on audiobooks but I thought I could get on with Scott Brick’s, and I was right!Īdmittedly, I wasn’t a huge fan of this book to begin with. This was recommended to me by Laura on Instagram after I accidentally let my free Audible trial run over.
And when the full moon rises over Babylon, it will seek a terrible vengeance.
Night after night it will pursue the murderer. And beneath the murky surface of the river, a shifting, almost human shape slowly takes form. Now they are about to endure another: fourteen-year-old Margaret Larkin will be robbed of her innocence and her life by a killer who is beyond the reach of the law.īut something strange is happening in Babylon: traffic lights flash an eerie blue, a ghostly hand slithers from the drain of a kitchen sink, graves erupt from the local cemetery in an implacable march of terror. Welcome to Babylon, a typical sleepy Alabama small town, where years earlier the Larkin family suffered a terrible tragedy.
