This book is easy to follow. The writing style was simple, that I didn't have to pause and think about what a particular line meant. It was a page turner, indeed. I would give this book that credit. The way the author took me in a non-linear narration (switching back and fourth from different timelines to tell the backstories and build the characters) was an enjoyable ride. For me, it had a good timing, not info-dumpy but rather relevant to the story. The little hints were well-meshed for the big reveal.

My issue was actually more focused on Millicent's character. Of course, I knew that Tobias (hell, what's his real name, i don't know) and her are twisted people. But I was just not convinced with Millicent's agency in doing all of those things: killing women, manipulating her husband to choose the women to kill, or even poisoning her own daughter. For me, it was not enough that she has been just a monster kid, a manipulative little devil. Or even the reason that she just wanted to 'resurrect' the serial killer of their town. Had there been a deeper reason on why she did that, I would've liked this book better.

But still, I enjoyed it. I would like to recommend the audiobook because the narrator was good!
