I was not expecting there to be as much gore and horror like scenes in this book as there were and they definitely took me by surprise. I liked the interplay between Sara and Jeffrey but I didn't particularly warm to any of the other characters, especially Lena who I found quite one dimensional. Reading this on 2024 you can feel the age of this book with references made to the town's views on African Americans and gay people. I found the connection between the killer and Sara to be a loose one and it didn't feel very convincing, but I didn't see it coning at least!
