Reviews with content warning for Stalking - Post-Mortem

This was one of the best murder mystery books that I've read in a long time! The main plot of the book was that of a medical examiner named Kay, and her trying to solves the cases of the victims of a serial killer. When reading about the scenes where and how the victims were found, the details were enough for you to know what happened and how messed up the serial killer is, but not too detailed as to make you not want to read any further. While reading, I liked the red herrings that were thrown in. There were times when I totally though that I figured out who the killer was and who was behind the strange things happening around Kay's office, but I was pleasantly proven wrong. The story will bring up people or things that are strange or suspect, but won't give confirmation or contradict whatever thoughts that you may have.

Additionally, I liked that throughout the story, there is the relationship building between Kay and her niece, Lucy. And neither one of them is perfect and knows that they make mistakes and try the best that they can. Furthermore I like how the message that sometimes the younger generations can teach the older generations new things was included.

Lastly, I liked that throughout the book, Kay wasn't this super human with no real emotion and that nothing would bother her. When things went wrong, or when Kay makes mistakes, she has genuine emotion and feeling that most normal people would have in response to what was going on. This epically shows in the ending of the book.
