This book strives to accomplish the complex task of unraveling and demystifying our morbid fascination with male serial killers, telling the story from the different perspectives of three different women in his life, while the last hours of his life are told from a second person perspective. It's a really interesting concept, but it takes most of the book for this to become obvious and the book shines the brightest in the last three chapters. Thriller/mystery fans would definitely enjoy this much more than I did
