I have to be entirely honest, at the conclusion of this book I found myself not really warning another one. I adored the first book and felt like the story had been told. I was eager for the second book to see how the story could expand but it feels as if the author took one successful story and decided to stick with it. 


From a true crime perspective, I really liked how this book explored copycats and the responsibility that falls on authors, reporters and consumers of true crime. It does beg the question of why write more books? But alas, I will most likely pick up book three if I stumble across it.
