A Talent for Murder by Peter Swanson
3.0

3.5 stars. This is a short thriller. The overall book was entertaining. I flew through it. But it was too short. Only 255 pages. When a thriller is short you do not have character development. I wanted to know the "bad" guys history. I wanted an entire section with just his history, growing up what he did etc. But it was quickly discussed and moved passed. I don't mind 3rd person but this was kind of annoying. A woman thinks her husband is a serial killer so she contacts an old friend from college that rescued her from a bad relationship to discuss her feelings and see what she thought. I liked the first twist. I was not expecting it. Then it just went too fast for me to get invested.
