This had some really creepy sequences in it and it was nice to see a 40k story take place in an agricultural farm setting.
The clown servitor in this was creeeeepy as HELL.
The main story is a cop story (but as it is a Warhammer 40K book ACAB is understood implicitly lol) but with some STRONG horror elements to tell its story.
The reveal to the mystery seems mindnumbingly obvious when it happens and I am sure non-40K folks will get it waaay sooner than me who thought he knew the ins and outs of a specific tech that is vital to solving the mystery.
This would be a good starting place for someone new to the setting and overall it is just a very messed up horror mystery.

Solid Warhammer 40,000 horror story which remembers that the setting is meant to be a dystopia. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/2022/01/17/a-head-for-numbers/
