This reads like an episode of Criminal minds, but add more viewpoints and subtract the sexual violence, so I overall really enjoyed it!

A great crime thriller with the baggage-carrying  detective, the writer with a dead wife and the young son he can't connect with, as well as a warped serial offender. Tropes a plenty but I didn't care. I completely enjoyed the ride. I will be seeking out another one of his books soon.

Fantastic dark mystery that was creepier than I expected. The book did not answer one plot point to me.

Solid mystery. I really disliked Tom for most of the book, but he grew.
