By Nick Cutter
When Margaret Carpenter finds a new iPhone on her doorstep she switches it on and discovers a text message from her best friend, Charity Atwater. However, Charity is a missing person and presumed dead. What follows is a bizarre chain of events as Margaret and friend Harry try to search for the truth about Charity's disappearance.
Well, this was certainly a weird one! Whilst I loved Nick Cutter's The Deep and The Troop, I found it difficult to be equally enthused with The Queen. It was a good story with lots of blood and gore but I didn't connect with it in the way I'd hoped. It was surreal and odd. Although sluggish at times, I did enjoy it but it wasn't quite what I'd expected.
