Keeps you guessing until the last few chapters with all the twists and turns right up to the end.
My only dislike is that the audio book was read by one person who was voicing chapters from multiple characters’ POV. Sometimes it took me a while to know and remember who’s head I was in.

The ending was overdone for my taste (too many red herrings and an overly dramatic climactic scene) and some threads of the plot are left unresolved, but I appreciated the journey throughout the book of assessing what it really looks like to have psychopathy, and how much impact that has on a person's moral choices.

Really promising blurb that didn't deliver and only annoyed the shit out of me. It could've been a better game of cat and mouse between the psychopaths who are being hunted down and murdered, but it fell off around the middle mark up to the very end. I just powered through for the sake of finishing the book.
I do appreciate the author's effort in debunking and sort of normalizing how psychopaths are actually defined versus how society perceives them (i.e. not all psychopaths are murderers, they simply are egotistic people who lack empathy for others).
