A sharply plotted, tense, well-structured serial killer thriller, depicting what makes a murderer. Are they born or bred to kill?
Eric and Joe are brothers: one is harbouring a secret, one is behind bars, and both are lying.
Detective Faulkner doesn't appear until halfway through, when the killings begin.
There are several themes running concurrently throughout this title: what circumstances might lead an average Joe to commit heinous crimes, the pros and cons of the death penalty, and what justice looks like.
I couldn't put this book down, from the first page to the last. There are a few twists - one in the middle of the book - that threw me off kilter, and the ending took my breath away.
I highly recommend this book to crime fiction lovers, and am looking forward to reading more from the series.
