This book is all about the big reveal; despite the synopsis sounding pretty self explanatory - "seductive female driver picks up hitchhikers who wouldn't be missed if they disappear" - Under the Skin isn't what you think it is and doesn't make much sense until about halfway through when the realisation finally you. Faber teases with slight hints and nudges throughout the first hundred pages, weaving an eerily compelling mystery.. but after the reveal things level out and end on a rather poignant, melancholic note.
