I guess I had too high expectations since I love Jackson's DS Cody series, and I thought it was going to be similar - silly me with my brain taking shortcuts. This is not a procedural for starters, it's from the point of view of the killer. The killer is completely crazy and talks to himself, and nothing happens for 90% of the book, it's more of a character study. Not bad, just not what I am looking for.
