Too graphic, took me a long time to finish it on audible. Don't think I'd read any more of hers

Yeah, not so much. I'm so sick of this Gein/Dahmer rip off authors resort to for murder mysteries. Was also indifferent about the characters. And the storyline. And the events. And all the details about torture. Disappointed, had really high hopes for this one.
