“There was the fact of life that Saffy hated, then: how it took the bad things and settled them inside you. It didn’t matter that you were a person, and it didn’t matter what you wanted. The bad lived insistently in your blood, a part of you always, calling out like a magnet to the horror of the world.”

This was such a nuanced thoughtful deconstruction of a killer and the lives affected by him. I like the writing style too, it kept me hooked even through some slower moments in the middle. I will be thinking about this for a while.
