I enjoyed how it flitted between 3 narrators (Karen, Michael and Nick), I added suspense and allowed you to either get more attached to the characters or see the red flags much more clearly. The narration also allow for the characters faults to be seen more clearly, you start to see how arrogant Nick Kelly truly is, and how Karen's a bit of a pushover, and how although the murders are so graphic, that Michael is desensitised to it and truly believes it's about the art and the fame. Maybe Michael and Nick are much more similar than it first seems.
The voice for the audiobook also did a great job at differienting between the different characters which really drew me in. 

I did not expect the ending, obviously I hoped that sort of ending would happen but it did not unfold as I thought it would
