dark mysterious tense medium-paced

An entertaining ride but there were multiple plot holes, no resolution for multiple plot lines, and the worst part was the supernaturalification of DiD which irritated the shit out of me. Of course all the antagonists were able to mentally connect and see what the others were doing bc one person had DiD. It didn’t make sense.

I feel like this would make a good movie or limited series, but as a book it struggled to hold my attention at times. There were a lot of plot points to piece together and I sometimes felt like I needed a large whiteboard and a roll of red yarn to keep things straight. Even though I was able to piece it together and understand why certain characters did certain things, I unfortunately got to the point where I just didn't care anymore. Again, I wouldn't hesitate to watch an adaptation of this.

I enjoyed the true crime/supernatural aspect of this book.
