I've read quite a few serial killer type books because I find the psychology fascinating so I was interested in the Gretchen Lowell books since they focused on a female serial killer. I have to tell you, this book was definitely better than the vast majority of serial killer type books that I've read. It was SO good. I was so impressed with this book - it was well written, the storyline was compelling and the characters were outstanding!

Intense. Lots of interesting characters, twisting and curving plots, strange emotional relationships that are difficult to understand, and one Gretchen Lowell.

I did not love this book. As far as murder mysteries go, this one was pretty run of the mill. It was pretty gruesome, and this relationship between Archie (cop) and Gretchen (psychopathic killer) is interesting, but it is not the crux of this book and I'm not intrigued enough to keep reading.

I loved this creepy serial killer book. It made me want pink hair again, though. It is sick and twisted and really gory, so caveat emptor.
I kept feeling unsure about how I felt about this book. But at the end I appreciated how the author weaved such a tangled psychological web.
