Some of the "origin stories" were a bit harrowing, and it's not easy going in that respect, however, as we are trying to understand the motives of a serial killer it makes sense contextually. These messed up childhoods absolutely might create a serial killer.
Kept me guessing right to the end and was actually quite gripping.
Found this to be a slow start but really picked up in the third act and personally I could have done with a bit more pace, potentially this is an audio-book issue rather than a book issue. I liked it overall but I don't think I would go back to it.

I felt like the first half at least was quite slow. I was surprised to see people tend to mark this book as fast-paced. The setting descriptions were so detailed and really painted a vivid picture in my mind, which I enjoyed. Oh my goodness, did the twist towards the end ever give me a visceral reaction of disgust and shock!
