I was going to give this book 4 stars but the ending ruined it for me. The story just ended without any solution??? It’s like the book’s missing some pages

Finished in 6 hours! This book kept me reading. I couldn’t believe the twist in it and that ending! Starting the second book tomorrow.

Okay slaaaaay. This was a fun read! I mainly picked this book up because I listen to the authors podcast, but it’s still right up my alley. 
Short, fast paced murder mystery told from the perspectives of the medical examiner and the serial killer. I haven’t read a murder mystery like that before, or at least one that had so much of the killers perspective. 
Either way, hell yea! Book 7/25 of the year done for me! ✨

This was more interesting than I thought it would be and a super quick read! I loved the alternating POV’s and really enjoyed the twists and the story as a whole
