Behind Came Chun
Near the end of the year on a late night, decorated detective Patrick Clauson shows up unannounced at Rose Lorton's house to confront Rose's nephew, Clyde.
Clyde, a person of interest in an unsolved case, has become Clauson’s main suspect in an unrelated string of strange homicides.
With Rose siding with their visitor, Clyde has no choice but to spend the last hour of the day in the company of the inquisitive detective.
Meanwhile, Officer Kayla Montgomery pays an unscheduled visit to her probationer, Bill, and warns him about a danger looming over him. If what she has said is true, only Kayla stands between this seemingly reformed man and the unknown peril that prowls around.
As the night goes on and unexpected pieces of information are revealed, the conversation between Clyde and the detective becomes eerie and more hostile by the minute. Clauson knows that there’s something obscure linking all these people's fates, so he waits and watches, counting the time, confident that by midnight an extraordinary event will expose the killer.

Crazy read!
While reading this book I was just as confused as the characters. Confused in a good way though. It made me want to keep reading to figure out what was going on.
Intriguing, mysterious, a possible unreliable narrator, some demon lore and two characters that I was torn between liking them and not liking them.
Now that I've finished it I have more questions than answers. And I really didn't mind that there wasn't really any closure. It made my mind race with the possibilities of what could happen next.

This book is a great quick read that keeps you guessing, you follow the story but can never quite grasp where it is heading leaving for a perfect climax! It’s coming up to midnight and Detective Clauson turns up at his main suspects house to question him about strange unsolved murders. Throughout the investigation and the run up to midnight we get different bits of information revealed that become stranger and creepier as the book goes on. Through most of the book it’s kinda a who done it? Will all our characters survive until midnight?!

Such a puzzle
What could easily be a 400 page book is eviscerated to a mere 68 and I loved it. A shell of a story that feels like you are missing the first book in the series but it works so well. I was enraptured trying piece it together and where it was going to go. This noir mystery of murder and...I'm not sure what to call it...supernatural? Superhuman? Just plain evil?
While it could be fleshed out to make an epic tale, this trimmed version is a twilight zone episode that will leave you applauding.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
*I'm not going to give you the 'what this book is about' blurb - you can read that elsewhere.
1. This is a short read at 68 pages, and it sucked me in immediately! I couldn’t put it down, and when I had to in order to go to work, I was thinking about it.
2. I love a good crime fiction, and Calderon takes that and mixes it with a bit of god/demonic lore...I think? Honestly, while I found the writing super engaging, I also felt like the plot kinda fell apart a bit. Or maybe more like something was missing. I actually went back and read this a 2nd time to make sure I didn’t just miss something, but I don’t think I did. Both times, I was left with a “what in the heck happened?” feeling. Maybe it’s supposed to be mysterious, but, in my opinion, that mystery doesn’t work well with this plotline. Still a good quick read though!
