4.0

I liked this book for a few reasons, one being that it was literally a chase to find a man's corpse which was separated into pieces by a killer. Second being that each piece of the investigation lead to another piece in a very interesting and unexpected way. Third one being that things were happening on the side line whilst the main investigation was going on. This would have been a 5 star read if it weren't for the long chapters and for the main character not being such a terrible father. Good man but he made quite a few poor choices as a father. Otherwise this book was really great and it didn't take me too long to finish.
