2.0

While the concept of a time travelling serial killer is intriguing I found the writing to be slow and it didn't engage me as much as what I thought. I struggled to connect with the characters and while it was centered around the killer, it wasn't a concept that I could get into. The book does has a promise and would recommend to anyone that enjoys thrillers
