Yeah, not so much. I'm so sick of this Gein/Dahmer rip off authors resort to for murder mysteries. Was also indifferent about the characters. And the storyline. And the events. And all the details about torture. Disappointed, had really high hopes for this one.

I don’t know if I wasn’t in the right mood or what, but the plot just felt very one note to me. There were a couple twists but nothing was that shocking. Took me a while to read because I never got that absorbed.

Not bad, but definitely not as enjoyable as some of her other books I've read. At least, even though it's from the early '90s, the homophobia and transphobia regarding the subject matter remains somewhat minimal (I mean, I guess. I expected worse), but not everything holds up. I may read others in this series still.

Why are forensic psychologists always depicted as so utterly useless? Despite this also being true of this novel, it is also so dark and so grusomely detailed about the crimes that it ends up being a serious page-turner.
