I'll give it the 5 stars because truly it was a confusing mass of murder and blood. You continue to read it hoping the author will drop a clue. Do not hold your breath. First important clue isn't till page 137, and another helpful clue is in chapter 50 otherwise you are literally kept in the dark with this psycho cop named Jake Cole who got drunk over a 5 day period and tattooed himself in 16 pt all over his body a part of Dante's Inferno. Cute.
Do not ask me how he gets so much praise and credit from any police dept. he works in. Apparently he grew up with a famous artist who's wife and dog were mysteriously killed about 20 years ago. The artist lived with Jake until he went off to the city I think and got married, worked as a cop who had a savants' memory where he'd walk a murder scene and could go back anytime in his head and walk it over and over looking for clues which he passed on to other agencies, like where fingerprints are likely to be, his mom's car (after 20 yrs) and stuff like that, where hairs were.
He goes back to visit his dad and of COURSE his dad cannot just write down or tell anyone at all who burned him up and cut off his hands. Geez, another cripple victim who can't name the one person who done it thruout the entire book. BUT he CAN paint a picture of the killer with his bloody arms. That's all. Just a pic, no name. It would have been much simpler to just write the killer's name. This part is actually meaningless and gets other people killed in the process.
But once you're involved and sort of guessing you know who the killer likely is you need to finish the book for the answer. Duh; I was right. Happy bloody reading to you. Jake was an alcoholic in AA and that's where he met his totally dysfunctional and off the charts tattooed wife with huge boobs who enjoys being strangled during sex, or so he thinks, she actually never says one way or another. Good luck trying to keep up with 50 Shades there, pal.
