First let me state that I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review. I am a reviewer for Rose's Book Snobs.This is my first read by Matt Drabble. I have to say I am impressed. Some nights I would fall asleep reading and my dreams were weird LOL!I will think twice before I move into a gated community, look very careful at the fine print on any contract.We meet a married couple Michael and Emily who are from the UK. They experienced a terrific loss and decided to it was time for a change. They packed up and moved to Eden. Well they were selected I should say.Eden was made from pure evil but looks like heaven. The grass is always green, the weather is always sunny. There is no crime. If you were to work in Eden from an outside town you followed very strict rules. It seems like you can't do nothing bad in this town without someone knowing. I wasn't sure if the Sheriff or Casper was following them or what.Every time we met a new character you got a brief background of where they came from and why they moved to Eden. Most people like Michael and Emily moved to make a new start. Eden was picture perfect for that start. The story line was smooth, there was a lot of action going on. There are a few cases where it felt gory. I am not sure if I would classify this book as horror or thriller or mystery. I guess in a way you can call it all 3. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end to see what happened. Who was going to live, or died. Who was actually running the town. This isn't my normal read but it pulled me in and kept me glued. I like it. I look forward to reading other books by Matt.
