Smaller and Smaller Circles by FH Batacan
This novel spares no detail which makes it both entertaining and disturbing. The way the first dead body was described (the one with maggots on its insides) made me cringe. The entire novel was really engaging; although I think I was more interested in finding out the criminal than catching him; and the way the criminal was revealed was so abrupt that it was a bit disappointing. The weirdness of it all made it more of an interesting read – two rich and “hot” Jesuit priests who study dead bodies and solve crimes; especially the priest part. Finishing the book on a lonely midnight made me feel the cold, cryptic, creepiness of Alex Carlos throughout the story. The author was really good in making these vivid images.
