Well, this is not a light and easy read. It's disturbing and if you don't tend to read horror books or anything too graphic, then put this down and run. Having warned you of that, I'm also going to praise this book to high heaven.
It kept me interested, kept me turning the pages and feeling like life was just getting in the way of my finishing this book. Ha! I started the book in the afternoon, and didn't finish it till the next day because my body betrayed me, determined that I needed sleep. Normally, you could finish this one in a few hours' time. As for the who and why; I sort of figured as much, long before the end, who was responsible for the murders, but I had to have the details. I did enjoy reading the book, despite the dark theme and perhaps even because of the theme. If you know what you're getting into, and still want to read it, I think you'll enjoy it too.
