Stroud's trilogy comes roaring to its conclusion. Nick and Kate Kavanaugh's adopted son Rainey Teague still has 'the devil in him' and Nick and Kate whose marriage barely survived his 'illness' the last time are walking on broken glass around the subject.
Niceville is gearing up for something, the disappeared are coming back, residents are acting strangely, some are wearing headphones twenty four seven. What are they listening to, or blocking out?
Charlie Danziger, the man who took two in the chest protecting Nick's partner, Mavis Crossfire, a year ago is most confused to find himself alive (sort of) and drawn towards a plantation run by Glynis Ruelle on which the Reckoning is to take place.
If none of this review makes sense, get yourself Niceville and Homecoming before reading this one. I have loved this weird, wonderful gothic horror show of a series. If you took a tale of the deep south, horror, supernatural, present day police procedural and indian legends; blitzed them in a blender, seasoned with a dash of humour and set it cooking you might have an inkling of how accomplished a writer Stroud is. Can't wait to see what Stroud comes up with next.
