did not enjoy this book. I expected SO much more, I was sold by the promise of a physiological thriller but this was boring at best. The characters were all incredibly unlikeable, the pacing was slow and the plot was repetitive and predictable.
Slater’s writing itself was fine, it was easy to read and a redeeming factor for me was the descriptive settings that transported me into the story. I liked the literary references throughout and the exploration of true crime as a genre.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this but this seems to be an unpopular opinion based on all the other rave reviews.
