I don’t really understand why I continue to read gory books when I’m terrible with gore. I guess because I just really love mysterious books and sometimes there’s dismemberment in them. All in all it was really interesting and I couldn’t really see the ending coming which I always like in a mysterious book. But for me it was so gory that I was mostly pushing through instead of enjoying it.

I was not a fan of how this book treated violence against women, however this was a solid piece of crime/serial killer fiction.
