Hard to read at times, not the author's fault but the subject matter. Not sure I really liked the split narrative as well as the frequent time skipping. I really liked how the focus of the book was on the victims and the long-lasting impact on their families rather than glorifying the killer. Somber (but predictable) ending. Still glad I read this.
