![]() Okay yes, there are certain aspects of the story which I found a little unbelievable but it’s so well written that I personally didn’t really think about it until I started writing this review. I’m going to say that this book has one of my top fears in it, I’m not going to tell you what in case of spoilers but still I just couldn’t put this book down. Roz is a little OCD with bad eating habits (.i,e barely eats at all) and she is incredibly depressed but after losing her husband and being horribly scarred herself who wouldn’t be? I found myself really rooting for her especially as she ends up clinging onto the case with her fingertips as her senior officers start doubting her sanity. There were so many shocking twists and revelations I gasped out loud on several occasions (cue a lot of are you okays from my family). Now Rob Ashman has been on my radar for a while now but I’ve never actually read any of his books so I’m so glad that I finally got to read this one! This book is gritty, realistic, brutal and absolutely terrifying which to many people would seem off putting but I absolutely loved it. Can Roz battle her own demons and get to the bottom of the case? Another body shows up and it seems they have a serial killer on their hands. I want to thank Bloodhound books and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book and Sarah Hardy for organising this blog tour.ĭI Roz Kray has only been back at work for short time after a vicious knife attack, she is called out to investigate the complaints of a bad smell which turns out to be a young woman who has been brutally attacks and seemingly dead for a long time. The truth is closer than she could have ever imagined… Will Kray find the murderer and escape with her own life in tact? She believes she is getting close, then her world comes crashing down with devastating consequences. Kray has the ability to think like a killer and her skills lead to a series of horrifying revelations that turn the case on its head. While fighting her superiors Kray must conquer her own demons, which are tearing her apart. The murders appear random but the killer selects his quarry with meticulous care. This killer is different, he doesn’t just want to take the lives of his victims, he wants to obliterate their very existence. It’s a grim, twisty little film that’s worth the time and attention that it requires.After surviving a vicious knife attack, which left her husband dead, DI Rosalind Kray returns to work and is handed a serial killer investigation. ![]() Much of the film’s effectiveness comes from not knowing what’s going on, or even what’s real, at a given moment While not as challenging or transgressive as Deadgirl, Faceless certainly doesn’t fit the mould of a normal thriller or horror film. ![]() ![]() “It’s one of those films that the less you know going in the better you’ll enjoy it. Some may be disappointed with the lack of boundaries being pushed, but not every project from every filmmaker needs to startle or confront.” The Hollywood News There’s no huge stylistic flourishes, but this is a film that isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, and it’s far more concerned with letting the story speak for itself. “Technically, Faceless isn’t very showy, focusing more on being structurally sound and put together. While its finale is slightly convoluted Faceless will certainly keep audiences guessing until its fight or flight conclusion.” Bloody Flicks “ Faceless feels plucked out of the Cronenberg guide to body horror with a sprinkle of noir for good measure. With no end in sight and nobody to turn to but a mysterious woman named Sophie (Alex Essoe), George must overcome his flashbacks, unexplained daily occurrences and a persistent, masked stalker to put the pieces together before it’s too late…
