    Hi, I’m looking for an occult detective book that gives off true detective season 1 and the supernatural tv show vibes. Like small town in America, cults, dark and gothic. Any recommendations are appreciated 🙂

    1. Secret-Secret-No-No on

      The Witch Hunter – Max Seeck

      Set in Helisinki, follows a police detective as she uncovers a murderous cult.

      I don’t want to say more so that I don’t spoil the plot. I really enjoyed it. I picked it up during a blizzard one night 2 years ago, after reading the first chapter my dog wanted to go outside so I took him for a walk. The echos of my feet crunching in the snow as it fell around me, I got instantly terrified and turned around after 1 block and locked the doors.

    2. The Devils Detective by Simon Kurt Unsworth—set entirely in hell, a soul is tasked with cataloging the various ways other damned souls are tortured when a string of unsanctioned torturing gets the bureaucracy of hell concerned. Kind of like Harry Bosch set in a Breugal depiction of hell, but especially interesting to me in that we (spoiler-adjacent) never see the souls on earth or get any insight as to why they are damned. Made it interesting to me and had a cool mystery with wild demons.
