An older book but it was pretty good reading. Typical stuff you expect in a murder mystery. Serial killer, lots of bodies around, cops. Good lead character female FBI Sophie with lots of in-depth of her personality, thoughts and not at all boring, which is a bonus.
Only a couple irritations; one was the killer wasn't really mentioned all that much during the story so when the name came up I was like...who the fuck is that? I thought maybe author used last name all the time and just popped a first name in but that wasn't even it. All along it was being suggested as someone close to the investigation, even a cop or agent so my being so surprised wasn't expected. Next was that in the murder photos all the women's heads were facing 'something' yet never were you told north, south, east, west and how did anyone put that all together and how would the killer even know he was aiming their faces exactly to his kill location? Sort of absurd but o well.
Otherwise it's a good read for mystery buffs. Had some investigation going on, questioning, suspects. Keeps you guessing and turning pages. Nice descriptions, nothing overboard. There were a lot of characters but only on the cusp of 'almost' too many. Worth the cover price IMO.
