I just…. Did not enjoy reading this book, though I seem to be in the minority. 

It is, without question, a thriller with a driving plot. It was truly challenging to read with amount of child sexual abuse described. 

It was repetitive. The characters lacked depth. I found it melodramatic and deeply unsettling and two dimensional. 

I love mysteries and suspense and have in the past spent innumerable hours listening to true crime stories. I want a deeper social commentary from such horrifying tales. This book lacked heart and exists to shock. It’s just not my taste.
