A true crime inspired suspense story with elements of a coming of age story. The protagonist(s) are excellently written although there all some gaps in the writing.

Wow. One of the twistiest thrillers I have ever read. Had an impending sense of dread the entire time. Was sort of predictable but in a way that left me empty and sad because this happens in real life. We know how these stories go because we have seen them on the news. Brilliantly written.

God this book was heart wrenching. A brutal read, really. I think what was so hard about this book is knowing that this isn’t fiction, not really. I have no doubt that there are countless “mind your business” small towns like Pantown, where evil goes unchecked and everyone turns a blind eye. I also have even less doubt that there are plenty of men out there just like this book. I hope they rot in hell.
