This was a quick and fun read - as fun as a book can be with serial killers and mutilations. I don’t read many thrillers but this was engaging and I did not predict the ending, which I think is what you’re going for with a thriller. The main character did feel a little flat, but I get that was part of her character. The writing was competent and allowed me to get pulled into the story. It wasn’t particular complicated or nuanced but it was well-structured and every element built the mystery. And for anyone worried, the cat is fine!

Not bad, but I wasn’t happy with it. Yelling at the MC for most of the book. Dragged on at some parts — I skimmed past a few chapters. Unexpected twist though! I did not like the RI —he felt manipulative and boring.

Oh Frieda.
Ever since my first Frieda book I open her books with an "I'm going to figure this one out" mentality. I have yet to accomplish that. 

I thought for sure I had this one! All the clues were there and then of course her surprise ending made so much more sense than anything I could have come up with.

Her books are gruesome, bloody, violent. But if you like to have your mind messed with they are perfect!
