I'm not usually one for detective novels but I decided to give this one a go. It had a very compelling story that had me hooked from the first chapter. I ended up reading this one all in one sitting because I liked the plot but i also feel as though at times it dragged a lot. The detective character was as cliche as they come with the typical traumatic past, drinking problems, and relationship trouble. I didn't seem to care too much about that aspect but I liked it when they focused more on the killer's perspective or the victim's perspective. I'm not sure if I will check out more from the series but this was pretty good.
