Unfortunately this was a miss for me. It's billed as a mystery/thriller but is essentially true crime (a retelling of the Ted Bundy murders). I generally hate multiple POVs and timelines as nobody ever gets developed properly, and sadly this is true here - there are just too many people and threads to unravel. The beginning was strong and I appreciate that the catalyst for action (murders) happen quickly and we get into the action immediately; however, given the gripping subject matter, the book shouldn't have felt flat, slow, and monotonous for major portions. I really enjoyed the author's Luckiest Girl Alive and will look for their next effort.
