I guess also this wasn't going to be my jam from the start as I'm not a fan of the sociopath/serial killer POV. That said, Frank really is a unique voice and it doesn't waver.

Perhaps it would have been shocking once, but the writing around the child murders is not strong enough to support the lack of characterisation or plot.
A book like this shouldn't be boring, and my god it's a drag.
