Surprisingly, it's not a far reach how the recent college graduate, Richard, becomes embroiled in the murder investigation. In the time between college graduation and starting a career, with a series of grisly murders impacting his hometown, he ends up writing a personal account of how he's affected and driven to investigate the murders himself and follow-up on some of his own hunches. While this is a fictional account, the book includes pictures and documents that represent characters, locations, and information sources related to the murder investigation. These additional touches really heighten the reader's investment in the story.
I found myself liking Mr. Chizmar's writing style quite a lot. I both read the Kindle digital edition and listened to the audiobook, narrated by Chris Andrew Ciulla who did a very good job with the reading of the story. While I can recommend both, it's important that the reader has either the physical or digital version of the book if they want to see the photos and documents added to enhance the experience of consuming this story.
