Reviews with content warning for Murder - None Shall Sleep

I had such high hopes for this book...however it did feel like it was dragging so much with the plot/characters. I didn't find too much satisfaction in the end. I did enjoy the thrill of trying to figure out what was going on but got lost at times with a lot of the facts [there was a lot of forensic and medical terminology with not a lot of explanation] If you enjoy anything like criminal minds, or silence of the lambs, this is for you.

Intense, pulse-pounding thriller perfect for fans of Criminal Minds or Thomas Harris/Hannibal or as an introduction to the sub genre.

Very much the book I needed to get out of a reading slump. It is a fast-paced book that can be read, and should be read, in only a couple of sittings. It gave me Hannibal (the tv show) vibes, which I loved. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. The treatment of the gore was perfect for me, as we mostly see it through the eyes of a squeamish person, we get detail, but not gross detail. It was totally out of my comfort zone, but the author did such a great job that I am really glad I picked up a physical copy. I will almost definitely re-read this one, which is a rarity.

This book- O can't even begin. It is SO GOOD. This is not an average murder mystery / thriller. Marney has a wat with words, making sure to add in the right amount of sarcasm to balance the heavy topics mentioned through this book.

If you are thinking about reading it: read the damn book!
