It took me a while to connect and sink into the story, but I’m glad I stuck with it. It was unexpected in some of the turns it took, but in a way I liked.

Intriguing premise, fast start, then the story lost steam. Characters began acting horribly inconsistent and the ending feels like a misstep. Still, not a bad read. I will definitely try another of Heaberlin's novels.

An aging photographer with dementia whose photos might be confirmation that he was a serial killer. Did Carl kill these women, including Grace's sister? Grace thinks she has almost all the pieces of the puzzle and feels that she can get Carl to confess if she takes him on a road trip to the sites of his photographs. As the story goes on, you aren't sure who is charge and who might be more mentally stable, Grace or Carl? I wanted to like this book more. The subject matter intrigued me but I found the pace slow and a bit monotonous. I stayed with it to the end as I had some of my own ideas and wanted to see if they played out. The ending was not what I expected and somewhat less than thrilling. But, endings/solutions to mysteries in real life aren't always thrilling either. I would like to read the author's previous work. Maybe this slow burn was just a bit too slow for me.
