Wow! Wow! Wow!
Bloody hell, that is one hell of a debut novel!
I'm still wrapping my head around it. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. I'm a fan of serial killers in books and this one was very well written.
I thought I knew who did it around half way through but with every reveal, I kept changing my mind.
That ending was fantastic! I completely did not see that coming!
I must warn potential readers that this is quite a graphic book - mostly with the details of the murders but there are also some graphic sex scenes.
I read the kindle version of this e-arc and the format isn't quite right. It feels like it jumps too much as it's not obvious where the breaks should be.
