This book is really good for those who enjoy true crime and the "case study" aspect of crime shows or podcasts. It's interesting to be inside the mind of a really intelligent character. The story is a bit juvenile because it's written for a YA audience, so for other adults like me it can feel a bit silly at times. If you can look past that aspect, I think you will really have a fun time with this one.

This book was very dark and for me sometimes almost unbearable to read because of the graphic murder scenes and explained thought processes. Sadly this kind of took over the great writing and other likeable aspects of this book.
