The identity of the killer is pretty predictable. That being noted, it still had enough twists to be a good read. Atticus’s passing was so heartbreaking

I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the book. 
It's about a brutal murder taking place in the past and a similar crime taking place in the present. I really like these kinds of stories. 
This was fast-paced, the twists and turns surprised me, all loose ends were tied up, nothing really annoyed be. And I even liked the characters, although some of them were a little one dimensional. But I guess that's what I liked so much, no unnecessary personal drama. 
It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it gave me exactly what I needed from the story.

Honestly, this book wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t great. I don’t like reading thrillers written by men. They feature a lot of dead women and that makes my stomach upset.
