Strong idea for a book and I like that it starts off with giving us a little bit of information about some of the customers of the cafe when it all starts to go very wrong. The problem I have with it is that it is all about their "damage" with not a great deal left o the imagination. Why not make them seem entirely normal and let the damage seep out during the course of the tale? I get that the first few chapters of a book should suck the reader in but these felt almost like spoilers - we just need to find out what lies behind this damage, how they got where they are and I'm not sure I'm that captivated by the vignettes to really want to find out.
