The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison
3.5
This reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds. The story is pretty twisted, but Hutchison does a very good job crafting the story, and keeping readers invested.
The dynamic between the two primary FBI agents reminds me a little of the Hannibal Lecter trilogy. The two agents clearly have a rapport with each other, have vastly different perspectives and approaches, but also care deeply.
I don’t know I feel about Mya. At times I really like the character, but at other times I find her very frustrating. In the end, though, she choices and actions make sense. She’s been through a lot in her short life and she’s grown into the person she needed to be as a result. I am a little bit disappointed by her Stockholm Syndrome, but not surprised by it.
This is apparently the first in a series. I’m not sure if I’ll read the others. I enjoyed this, but I’m not sure if I’d enjoy continuing with these characters.
