I did enjoy this - although the grizzly murders mean 'enjoy' is a qualified term.
The threat of the murders was felt each time a new victim was introduced - wanted to tell them not to open the door!
Normally this sort of book is done from the police/PI perspective so having this from the muderers made it a bit different. Though I did miss the investigations of either the police or Ed.
As well as the murders, I did find the victims lives (having to use pick up sites) sad and Timothy's life was doomed from early on and only secured in its path by the events as he grew older. He was a suitably creepy and disturbed indiviual.
Ed and Peter together are quite low key but were critical to the story.
I didn't mind that we knew the killer early and the gradual telling of his story added to the tension as we discover his why and how.
There were a couple of incidents of TSTL and certainly Ed's firing was not right - and did no one have a mobile?
But I did like it.
