Short-listed for the Whitbread Award, this remarkable book defies categorisation. Under the Skin introduces Isserley, a woman obsessed with picking up male hitchhikers – so long as they're well-muscled and alone. But why? As the novel unfolds and the reason becomes clear, the reader is drawn inexorably into a completely unexpected and increasingly terrifying world.
Each chapter gets more scary, and I really like the pace of the book. But, a lot of open questions remain unanswered, and I have a feeling author decided to have a series of books, instead of single one.
