Predictable. 

Holy crap that was fantastic. Had my heart racing in that last few chapters.
WOW.
Multiple POVs, copy cat crimes, murder, drama-and, Bob might be the best fictional human ever. Protect him at ALL COSTS.

If you’ve dug true crime podcasts, pick this up. Immediately (this is fiction, but still!).
If it wasn’t for things like work and kids, I probably wouldn’t have closed this book for a second.

I loved the fast pace of this book with short chapters switching between perspectives.  The writing style was good with only short periods of time for cliffhangers and unanswered questions.  A lot of twists I was not expecting and with only a few chapters to go and so many unanswered questions I was surprised at how well the ending wrapped up.

Pretty good read! I definitely solved the mysteries early on but it was fun reading to see if I was right.

3.5 stars. Entertaining murder mystery read. I called the major twists ahead of time but the breadcrumbs were there. Narrators did a good job.
