Decent enough story and, as always, well written but I felt that it was lacking in lots of areas and, unfortunately, I thought it to be quite bland.

I only picked this up because of the utterly beautiful cover, I soon as I saw it I went for it immediately (seriosuly it could've been about anything). I am so pleased I did though as the story itself is brilliant, it is fast paced yet easy to follow with a modern and intriguing plot line that keeps you guessing (despite the insights into the killer's mind) and really shines a spotlight on media murder coverage and their use of the fear factor. Towards the end I did find some of the coincidences a little too neat, or possibly just a few too many, but it didn't completely ruin the book for me. Yet another author for me to add to my list of those to keep an eye out for.

it was my first mystery/fall read this year nd i enjoyed it a lot!
Gripped you early and kept it up the whole way! Based in London so recognised a lot of place names which is always nice! Expected a few twists and turns but was more of a catch a killer than a thriller. Still thoroughly enjoyed it!
A great, fast-paced thriller for anyone interested in one at Christmas time! Set during the holiday season, the story revolves around Eve Singer, a young reporter for a crime news station. After she reports on the murder of another young woman, Eve becomes the object of obsession for the killer. The opening scenes are particularly creepy, likely because of how realistic they are. The author does a great job of showing us how society has become immune to and enamoured of horrific moments in life, constantly wanting to catch the latest horror story on our cell phones. Eve is a sympathetic character who's dealing with a frantic, cutthroat job while handling a father with dementia. Would recommend this to readers of Jeffery Deaver or watchers of shows such as Criminal Minds.
A fast-paced and tense mystery/thriller about Eve, a tough and ambitious crime reporter who besides trying to cope with the daily demands of her career and her father who has dementia, catches the attention of a narcissistic and demented serial killer who believes his murders to be artistic creations and demands Eve to "review" them in her reports.
