Well-written, excellent characterizations, and a villain that made your skin crawl from the very first page. For a male author writing a female main, I was surprised that he did not fall into any patriarchial pits that men writing strong women usually fall into, not just with his main, but with her mentor as well.
This was a difficult book to read given the subject matter, but it was fast paced and held your attention with a vise grip. If you like thrillers and true crime, I'd recommend this. But for me, I need to go get lost in something cozy before my heart beats out of my chest.
