Quick, easy read. Part two moved a lot faster, but the ending was just meh. Unsatisfying. Still a fun read for those who are fans of true crime (and fictional crime?). I also noticed a few grammatical and spelling errors. "Moent" (supposed to be "moment") on page 230 being the worst of them🥴. It kept my attention, but was overall just ok.

The small chapters make it easy to digest and the alternating chapters between the two main characters makes the book fly by. Although the twist was somewhat predictable, it still caught me off guard as the puzzle pieces slowly were put together.

It was simply too graphic for me. I don’t have the stomach for this kind of writing.
