Travis in particular I still feel like I barely know.

We never really got to know the characters outside of the murders.

My morbid curiosity with true crime is strong so I would have liked more details about the crimes of the Butcher, but also more about Simon’s murders and Emma’s experience with Huxton (I knew it was unlikely we’d get that since this is upper YA/ NA and not adult, but I still wanted it).

Once again, I don’t really have any true complaints.

But that actually really suited the story. It felt almost clinical, like a report, at times.

The writing style was really interesting.

The clues were so subtle and superbly written!.

Even though I guessed a bit, aspects still surprised me! I never truly realised just how depraved and creepy the killer was.I figured out a few details about the killer’s profile and motivations early, but the only reason I managed that was because I have a true crime obsession and knowledge of Elizabeth Bathory (different crime, similar vibes).It’s so hard not to just gush about everything.Strong Mindhunter vibes (but with more actual crime solving, less of the character’s outside lives).Brilliant and addictive standalone NA historical thriller by an Aussie author.Guess who has a late addition to their best reads of 2020!.Ĭan Emma and Travis stop a serial killer on the loose - or will they fall victim themselves?
