Read by the author, in a slow and detached voice. Jumps around with narrators and situations. I was invested though, and wanted to find out the mystery of the killer... In the end it was a total letdown. I would have been happier if it ended a couple chapters early
and the main writer-character just had to wrestle with his actions after being called out by the victims family member, and never knowing who the 'real killer' was.
