A Mask of Flies

By: Matthew Lyons

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

In Matthew Lyons' pulse-pounding crime horror, A Mask of Flies, a criminal on the run after a failed heist must confront dark family secrets and demons from her past made flesh.

THE PAST HAS TEETH

In the grisly aftermath of a botched bank heist, career criminal Anne Heller has no choice but to return to her family’s cabin – a secluded shack in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, and the site of her mother’s untimely death.

Along for the ride are Jessup, Anne’s badly wounded partner, and Dutch, the police officer she’s taken hostage. As they wait for help, Anne discovers strange relics from her mother’s past and begins to unfold the mystery of her childhood at the cabin.

Then Jessup goes missing, only to turn up dead. Anne and Dutch bury her friend, but that night, he comes back and knocks at the cabin door.

Not a dream, not a hallucination, but not exactly Jessup, either. Something else. Something wearing her friend’s face. Something hungry...

Meh——-semi-spoilers

I was totally up for the book but, damn, I just didn’t connect with any characters. They were terrible people. They talked so country for Colorado. I live in the Deep South and we don’t sound that country. The story could’ve been great. It fell short. I have a rule, if I buy it I finish it. This book was a disappointment.

Amazing read!!! No Spoiler

This was an exciting read. I love Annie so much! She a very strong character! It’s fast paced with hardly a moment to catch your breath!! It keeps you on the edge of your seat. It has some graphic descriptions, But I’m so happy my son picked this for me!!!

good story

After killing a bunch of cops and taking one hostage, the cops dont even try to arrest her. They accidentally bumble there way into her after she goes back to her appartment and chills there for awhile. The neighbor calls the police. The cops didnt monitor her place after they knew she was a suspect. That kind of killed it for me.

Details

Loved the suspense of what was gonna happen next love the mixture of horror/crime

Beautifully written

Absolutely captivating I loved every second I honestly can’t believe I haven’t heard of this author before!
