This book was incredible. I have never read a crime thriller that kept me so entertained and interested throughout the entire book. I'm so excited to read the rest of the series.

I'm a sucker for these kinds of books, and even though I kind of figured out what was going on, I liked it and will be reading the next one.

Started August 30th, 2013.
Bought this together with the 2nd and 3d book in the series. Hopefully not in vain.
Not bad, but too predictable, no real twists.
Very good descriptions of torture, but somehow it all left me unimpressed.
Nice location, not the usual ones like NYC, LA, SF, Washington DC etc. : Portland.
Something is missing, I am not sure what.
But a good book to start a series, will read the next one [b:Sweetheart|2983654|Sweetheart (Gretchen Lowell, #2)|Chelsea Cain|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1311994924s/2983654.jpg|3014061] starting now.
So, only 4 Stars, as I think there are better books about serial killers.

I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it.
I didn’t care for the present day case and would have much preferred the Gretchen story for the entire book. Archie was also super hard to connect to.

I haven't read a book of this nature for a while and enjoyed it quite a bit. A female killer was a different spin on the story. But one I found out who the killer was, I was done with the book, even though there was still a chapter or two left.
