I hope the casual use of slurs such as the r-word and d**e are a sign of this times this book was written in and not something that will continue to show up in this really twisted yet enthralling series

my review would be five stars if it wasn't for that one transphobic slur. entirely unnecessary. but i did enjoy this book
I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. The premise is interesting - cop haunted by the terribly heinous serial killer who tortured him and then called 911 to save him, putting herself in jail - but the actual book was less than stellar. There is the cop/killer backstory, and then there is the "current day" story about a different serial killer that said cop is currently trying to capture. The bulk of the novel, unfortunately, follows the 2nd, far less interesting story. This is the first novel of an ongoing series, and if I get around to it I'll read the next one, but it's not at the top of my list.
“I gave up everything I had in that basement” Archie’s voice was low, controlled. “My children. My wife. My work. My life. I was going to die. In her arms. And I was all right with that. Because she would be there” He looked right at Anne. “Taking care of me”
“She’s a psychopath”
A yellow cab pulled into the small parking lot behind the office. “Yeah”, Archie said, taking a step towards it. “But she’s my psychopath”
Wow in some fucked up way this caught me off guard.
I accidentally read the third book before I realised it was a series.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Instantly fell hook line and sinker into this.
Loved most of it. Gretchen is a complete and utter brilliant psychotic character, so clever!
Chelsea Cain just gets it completely right and captivates my full attention.
2 things I wasn’t keen on. The side plot for Susan’s other story... not interested. Also the twist at the end.... could see that coming a mile off
Loved this though, so I’m going to jump straight into the next one
