Wow what a corker! C.J Tudor never disappoints but The Gathering really pulls out all stops. A completely different stand alone novel based on a small town with a history with a particular colony of vampires. The colony were driven away after a boy was killed 25 years ago. The colony are back and another boy has been killed. The locals want a cull, but Detective Barbara Atkinson is called in to investigate as part of the Forensic Vampyr Anthropology Dept. The more Barbara discovers about this town and the locals, the more she is convinced the colony were not involved.
A completely compelling read and thoroughly enjoyable. I loved Barbara’s character and her steeliness against all those opposed to her work. The setting and townsfolk are really well described and the background into each character helps with the suspense and intrigue.
5 stars without hesitation.
