Librarians tracking a serial killer is always going to be a hook that gets me to start reading. A Talent for Murder was a great thriller. I really enjoyed the multiple POV once I realized how it was laid out (no chapter names to help). While there is definitely a "big bad" in the story - they aren't the only "bad" and I liked the play on how a viewpoint of events can really change your perspective.
