This is the third book that I’ve read by Michael Koryta and so far, the best one too. I didn’t even need to finish reading the GR book summary before adding this book to my to-read list. I was hooked on “sixty-seven lions, tigers and other species into a shelter”. Rescued exotic kittys? Oh yeah, just the kind of book to satisfy my quirky reading interests.
The story revolves around a series of deaths in and around a particular area in the Kentucky hills and mountains. Sixty-seven big cats, dark, rural hills and mountains with a 120+ year history of a bunch of “accidental” deaths (maybe)? What a perfect setting and atmosphere for a scary and suspenseful mystery story!!!
There were a couple of nail biting scenes with the cats and one particularly tear jerking scene but I loved how Koryta developed a story around the cats. I was disappointed with one aspect of the ending; thought that could have played out better. I guess if I could give it 4.5stars I would have but since the overall story was well written and superbly told, I’ve rounded up.
