Fascinating book with less than perfect female lead characters. Explores our culture's fascination with serial killers and the forgotten victims; the families and friends of the deceased. Their trauma is carried with them the rest of their lives. I previously read Jessica Knoll's first novel and it was outstanding. I could not put this book down, yet didn't want it to end. There are many characters and the plot jumps back and forth in time, so my only advice is that this is not a book you want to start and then pick up a few weeks later.
I feel this is a must read for anyone who has "enjoyed" a book about a serial killer. I am not saying that you need to examine your conscience or feel guilty. But this book should be a mandatory companion piece.
