Truly brilliant, clever novel that kept me so hooked from page 1. A 4/4.5 because the effort and care and planning that went into the creation of it is just incredible!!

While this is a fictional story it was written as if it belonged to the true crime genre. The stories of childhood and the town intermingling with the horror of a small town serial killer keep me turning page after page. The characters were so well written that finding out my favorite was not a real person had me quite sad.  I just wish it had more towards the end from the boogeyman himself.
