The book was very well writen and original. In most of the parts the psychology facts alined with real life except for the last part. This trew me off a bit. 

Overal really liked it

Ok so I knew right away who had done it but it was still really cool to see the characters figure and I was shocked by other things definitely. Very much enjoyed the language that is also used in criminal minds. But that last page fucking confused me. But yes good book.

An unusual formatting makes this a much more exciting read - I enjoyed trying to figure it out with the group, but I do admit it can be difficult to keep track of all the different threads without a notebook on hand
