This is the easiest five stars I have ever given to a book. The plot was amazing and included so many twists and turns I just did not see coming and the characters were incredible, especially Simon’s character was so complex and intricate. It’s also worth noting that though this book is set in the 80s, the setting is weaved so expertly into the story that the time period is not at the forefront of the story (unlike many other stories set then).  100% recommend this book to anyone who likes crime and serial killers, but also for fans of Karen M. McManus’s One of Us Is Lying, Silence of the Lambs, Mindhunter, the Sinner and any other book/movie/show in that same realm.

really good! did not expect to be attached to the side characters as much as i was. the pace wasn't dragging, but wasn't too fast either. i loved how the backgrounds of the characters were essential in how the story progressed, and the readers having to pick not only the main mystery apart AS WELL as how they fit into it was amazing.

heard great things about the audiobook, and will definitely check it out sometime.
