I had watched some of the TV series based on these books first, so I was a little confused by one of the TV series regulars and who he is in this first book. Other than that, I can imagine the characters as cast in the show, and this first book is so much more than the show itself. I think I’m going to enjoy finishing those series by book. For new readers, be forewarned there are a lot of triggers in the content.

Slaughter writes a good thriller. The murders are brutal and the chase for the killer is twisty with several surprises as the tale unfolds. It takes  while to get its footing, but that’s not surprising for the first book in a series. I’ll definitely pick up the next, but (and I know this is blasphemous) I may like the TV show better, at least for now. Pedophilia is one of my least favorite plots. I’m horrified and sickened by the crimes in this one.

Good opening book of a series. 
jaw dropping when they reveal that the neighbor

was only 15

I had to go back and re listen. 
Toward the end it felt like it got gratuitously bloody and gave me the ick.
