    Plods on for what seems like forever
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2018*

A coming of age tale in the tradition of 'It'/'The Body', this book starts out well and promises much, but  about a third of the way through I started to find it pretty hard going.  It started to feel like a horror film where all the jump scenes turn out to be the cat after all - apart from various anonymous teenagers going missing - our teenage protagonists end up plodding around one spooky deserted building after another, with essentially not much happening right until close to the end.  Yes I know that KIng carried off a similar plot in 'The Body', but frankly his characters are better  developed, there is more humour - and 'The Body'  is only a novella, whereas this plods on for what seems like forever.  It doesn't help that I wasn't really in sympathy with what they were up to - they withhold evidence and information from the police which could helped to solve the crime, to say nothing of endangering their own lives. The ending is very good and a genuine surprise but by that time I had almost lost the will to live.  Some nice descriptive writing but certainly isn't my favourite Malfi book to date.

    It defies my definition of any genre and yet I liked the book
  

*by N***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2016*

This is a hard book for me to review; I was under the impression it was a horror. It most certainly is not. As I read I came to think it was a thriller, but it hardly is that either. It defies my definition of any genre and yet I liked the book, very much. More than anything it is a coming of age story, five boys on the cusp of manhood in the early 1990s, set against the backdrop of their town being gripped by fear from a rash of disappearing young teens. The boys become obsessed with finding out who is responsible. The papers have nicknamed the perpetrator "The Piper" and while no bodies are found it's assumed there is a serial killer on the loose. So, the boys spend the summer finding a couple of clues, hanging out in the park which has been deemed a "no go" area by the authorities and travelling all over town on their bikes exploring old abandoned places they haven't visited since they were kids, or ever. The story is more about the boys, this last summer together (though they don't know it), getting to know them, their camaraderie. They are the only friends each other has, mostly, they are not toughs but they smoke and don't do well at school, not really belonging to any clique other than each other. I really enjoyed the story in a "Stand By Me" kind of way, the creepy background gives it some suspense and there are a few intense moments but nothing really ever happens until the final pages for a book with over 600 pages. The ending is a rush, a twist, a surprise, and wrapped up somewhat too neatly with some questions never answered. So not a wholly satisfying ending, and yet in the grand scheme, I felt the boys' relationship was the main theme and that did end satisfyingly and bittersweet. If I'd known from the outset I was reading a coming of age story, and hadn't been expecting horror or thriller, I'd have rated the book higher.

    Not just for teenager!
  

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 December 2017*

I liked the atmosphere of the book. The longer you read, the more you feel the small town flair and you can empathize with the experience and emotions of the 5 teenagers.The disappearance of eight young people overshadows the whole thing. What is suppressed in the beginning, gradually becomes a cruel truth. There's a serial killer in Harting Farms, the Piper. Angelo and his friends decide to start their own manhunt for the Piper. Together they`re getting closer to the history of Harting Farms and its forgotten and abandoned corners.In the end, there's the truth... that changes everything....I received an ARC from the pubisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
