Duncan's Diary: Birth of a Serial Killer by Christopher C. Payne
4.0
I liked the book over all and it was a quick read. There were a few parts though that I didn't really think needed to be there.
I got confused, because it seems like the first two homeless men he killed were talked about twice, so I was to believe that he had killed 4, so was confused when he just made two spots on his trophy shelf.
Also, what was the point of mentioning the lady dining with her out of state family? They said they'd meet back up, but it was never mentioned again. What did he do with the 2nd homeless people's heads that he hacked off? Did he just leave them to rot in his car, because it didn't mention him going back up to the cabin any time soon after that.
I wasn't crazy about the ending either, it was sort of abrupt. I liked the little things they put in there, about Jason picking up on the subtleties, but I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be the end or if it was leaving you hanging for a sequel?
Anyway, as I said, over all I liked it, but there were a few things that bothered me.
