This one was super creepy and dark and I absolutely devoured it. Pitched for fans of Ozark and True Detective - I absolutely agree. I also got Mindhunter vibes from Agent Wilson in the best way possible.

Stag is definitely not for the faint of heart but if you are a fan of true crime and procedurals - you will really enjoy this one. The thriller and suspense elements ramped this one up a lot and for coming off of a recent reading slump - I crushed through this one in two days.

The writing / formatting took a bit for me to get into and is the reason for the missing star. Dialogue sometimes ran together and once I got into the flow I enjoyed the reading - but it did take me a second to adjust. I was really impressed with the depth of Bahr’s characters and will be keeping an eye out for more from this author in the future! I would 100% read another book following Fielding and Batey.

Check this one out if you like thrillers, suspense, creepy a$$ murderers, and deer!

**Thank you to Counterpoint Press for the gifted copy of this book!**

Stag by Dane Bahr was a story I really enjoyed reading.
Gripping from very first page right up until the last.
Full of suspense and many twists and turns.

Thank You NetGalley and Counterpoint for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Entertaining and immersive. A recommended purchase for collections where crime and thrillers are popular.
