I haven't read many fictional serial killer books, a few [a:Karin Slaughter|12504|Karin Slaughter|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1202439539p2/12504.jpg] books and that's mostly it. I picked up a hardback edition of this book on a trip and thought it would be a good way to pass time. It came home and sat on a shelf for over a year until I came across it the other day. Before I started reading, I checked a few reviews and the top three were saying this is one of if not THE best fictional serial killer series.
With high expectations I sat down and made it about 80 pages in, bored to tears until the few pages of a flashback would come up for poor Archie. Now this may indicate some sadism on my part, but that's really the only time I found myself enjoying the book. It did start getting better toward the middle, and I ended up finishing in about two days so I guess I can't say it was HORRIBLE but I guess I was expecting more.

I am however, interested in Sheridan and Lowell's relationship enough to at least head to the library tomorrow to find [b:Sweetheart|6580772|Sweetheart|Chelsea Cain|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nocover/60x80.png|3014061] and give it a try.
