One of the best by Patterson I have read in a long while!
Though super long at 555 pages, I rushed through it quickly as it was hard to put down and turn out the light at bedtime. The very short chapters, typical of Patterson, also make it a quick read.
Different than most serial killer stories, we seem to know early on who the perpetrator is, but the motive remains elusive for a while. The psychology involved in this tale is quite surprising. And we are reminded that not all âhelpers' are good people. Multiple twists in the second half of the book keep the suspense up right til the end.
I felt the book's title was quite misleading and the authors should have put more effort into finding a more appropriate one.
Triggers: child abuse, graphic violence/murders
