Advance Review: ‘The Creep’ HC

A great read from start to finish, The Creep HC is an emotionally-enthralling private eye tale that pulls at the heart strings. As each page goes by, readers will start to feel for the deeply-flawed protagonist. This is a bleak and heart-breaking story about a disconnected loner looking for answers.
