a rippin' yarn, as they say.
dark mysterious tense fast-paced

 3 - 3.5 stars.

Was hooked from the first page, but the rest of the book didn't quite live up to that for me. But still a solid and engaging serial killer thriller. If you like the Red Dragon Hannibal universe or Dennis Lehane's Kenzie/Gennaro series you'll probably like this too.

Ending and the killer reveal was rushed, and I wish the town and townspeople (and any of the women) had been more developed, as the specific setting of a small dying southern town is so central to the story, but there were also so many subplots or things mentioned that went nowhere. But I think it was just to show the rot of the town.
