This one is tough for me to rate. I’ll rate it after I think it through.
I never thought that I could possibly see through a serial killer’s perspective, but this book allowed you to see how one’s path could change many outcomes in one’s life.
Wish this would sync with goodreads/Amazon review.
Wasnt the best. The writing was to much detail not enough story. Went to fast. No mystery
4.0 stars. This book was intense and quick. Loved Saffy Singh- great detective character with depth and layers. The deep connection and rivalry between the twins was interesting- Jenny and Hazel, and dynamics with their mother. Ansel's POV didn't fully grab my interest until the last third of the book. It was more through the eyes of the other characters that I found Ansel intriguing- though intriguing is really not the right word. I will be ruminating on this book for some time.
