This was a cliché csi/law and order/criminal minds story. It was okay.
One thing that pissed me off were the short sentences like "she did this. And then stopped. Her boyfriend looked at her. She didn't look at him.". 
Also the final plot twist was unfair to the readers because during the whole book no clue was given to us so it just seemed a bit rushed and unfair.
