Dark Room by Tom Becker
3.0
Three stars for the twist (though, in fairness, we we given some clues along the way).
Darla and her dad are used to running from the things he's done. Darla is used to not fitting in. This is made worse when they end up in Saffron Hills, full of beautiful people that they seem to have nothing in common with.
The town hides a horrible secret and, unfortunately for Darla, her arrival coincides with the return of a killer.
Some nice touches, but essentially we're given a cast of fairly vapid characters who we have to wait to see picked off in pretty gruesome ways. There's little to make us care about those murdered-though Darla is someone we come to admire.
Probably one for fans of this style...not really for me.
