I watch way too many true crime stories for any of this to have surprised me, but it was enjoyable none the less.

A lot of unnecessary scene setting - clothes descriptions, random gestures, etc - and not enough character depth. Story lines fell flat, and as an avid reader of this genre, I pinned the killer by the middle of the book. The ending was a bit too well packaged for me as well - I could have dealt without the last few chapters entirely.

The story was fun, fast paced and thrilling - I listened to the audio book and loved it. I would recommend to folks new to the genre with a big ol trigger warning attached.

A great thriller. Hooks you in from the begging and is good at keeping you guessing until the end. I liked how the story unraveled. There were enough twists to keep it interesting, but not so many that it felt forced.

A must read for true crime lovers, there’s references to real serial killers. It was a quick read for me since the chapters were short and almost always ended on a cliff hanger. I almost had the mystery solved, but couldn’t completely get the pieces to fit together to solve it before finishing the book.
