This is a serial killer AU, and like most or almost all serial killer setups requires some suspension of disbelief. Reader must be ready to allow for some stretches like the police are incredibly incompetent, DNA and forensic science doesn't exist, people and bodies are easily unalived and disappeared with very little or no curiosity/questions or investigation. Okay that makes it sound terrible but I really love these kind of dark romances so I will allow it. I was invested enough to keep turning the page. Admittedly as an art school kid the characters all being artists gave me a huge laugh.
