Creepy
Creepy in the best way. This thriller hooked me immediately with its genuinely creepy premise. Finding a plastic monkey in a victim's ear is the kind of nightmare fuel that sets a dark tone fast. I really appreciated the detective’s stubborn, human approach to the investigation; the clues felt fair, yet the tension kept climbing. The pacing doesn't drag, making it a solid read if you enjoy dark mysteries with a unique, twisted signature.
