I feel like this was a great concept that just wasn’t executed well. There were times where there was just way too much un needed detail and I found myself skimming.

This book was sooo good! I love stories about serial killers, especially ones that focus on their psychology and profile. The book within a book was very well-written and engaging, it was super creepy to read in detail about how the crimes were carried out, what preceded them, how they went down, etc., and I loved reading about it!
The reveals and twists towards the end were all well-written, I really liked how we got to follow along with Eve as she investigates and puts together the clues as to the identity of The Nothing Man. I also liked what the book had to say about serial killers and how they are portrayed in the media versus how they are in real life.
If you're looking for a dark, fast-paced, thrilling book with a lot of investigation centering a serial killer, I'd most definitely recommend this one!
