I have read Dekker before and usually enjoy his writing, although some don't work as well. This one worked. It pulled me in quickly. I loved that you get to know the villain and hear from his view points. He is sufficiently creepy.
I didn't enjoy the lead character Brad Raines, seemed a bit of a himbo. If this was an ongoing series I may have doubts about continuing but because it is only one my lack of enjoyment in this character really didn't affect my feelings on the book.
I loved the parts in the psychiatric facility and the people there. I am not a mental health specialist but several things didn't seem to be reality. If this wasn't meant to be a thriller, it might have bothered me, but again it didn't.
This book was not faultless, but it was exactly what I wanted and expected it to be, a fast paced thriller that kept me reading late into the night.

A decent start on my journey into true crime books. I’m a true crime lover and I’m happy to say this book really exceeded my expectations.
