I read this because someone else suggested it, and it is not my thing. I do not enjoy serial killer books and books about violence against women, so I am not the target audience.
Schaffhausen writes solid prose and had a well-worked out plot, but even by the end the characters did not feel fully developed to me. There was an interesting twist at the end. I'd figured out who, but not why. So perhaps if this is your thing you'll like it more.
