I enjoyed it, including the allusions to real serial killers like The Golden State killer. Too bad Michelle McNamara didn’t get such an ending. One plot point seemed unbelievable, but mostly it drew me in.

I enjoyed this although I did initially get a little confused around the story being about the writing and publishing of a true crime novel. It involves the book research of a crime that left the author the only survivor of a serial killer. A small twist at the end but ultimately the author lives happy ever l

this book had me GRIPPED!! it has such and interesting concept you basically read about a person reading a book but you get to read the book along with them it's essentially two stories in one!! also I didn't realize until the end but I have read another book by this author that I also devoured. overall this is a super interesting store and I highly recommend it to all the true crime mystery people out there!!
