Might bump the rating up or down with more time. I think the real target market for this book enjoys reading/listening/learning about serial killers much more than I do. The 1982 setting allowed me to accept the premise of the Killer Interview program and the participation of 18 year-olds in it a little more, and truly what shone for me was Emma and Mr. Bell.
ALSO, I don't read a lot of thrillers and YA thrillers especially are typically not my jam but this had a LOT of tension. I actually had to put it down for two days about 50 pages from the end because I was so afraid or what could happen on the next page.
