Saw a BookTube video giving this novel a 5 star review and listing it as one of the best books of 2021. I also previously read Chizmar’s cooperative effort with King and considered the whole project mediocre. Needless to say, from the semi-autobiographical stance of the book down to the pseudo true crime slant, I found the whole effort boring and corny. Was not a fan.

Great mystery, weird but interesting writing style. Some parts really worked for me. The numbering within each chapter was something that really worked for my brain for some reason. The narrative storytelling was mostly good, the pace was slow and the details of the murder laid out in a laid back and casual way. Chapter 1 of him describing his hometown in painstaking detail was a miss for me. Almost stopped reading lmao but it redeemed itself
