This was definitely not my favorite of this author's books, but it was a solid thriller with some twists I didn't see coming. The reveal regarding one particular character SHOULD have been obvious, but I managed to gloss right over it somehow until shortly before it was unveiled. Overall this was a great story and I enjoyed it, but it definitely isn't the best indicator of how talented Peter Swanson really is. 

I struggle to give this a rating because it truly was well written. The character development and details were all there. 
It moved a little slow for me between the “thrilling” parts.  I considered DNF’ing because I have a toddler so I don’t have a ton of time to read right now. 

My biggest problem was: I guessed the twist! Pretty early on, I thought I had guessed it but then forced myself to keep going thinking that surely the author was trying to trick us and there would be a different mind blowing twist. Nope, I guessed it and I wasn’t shocked at all and found myself wishing I had just stopped at the 30% mark and googled the ending. 

Another problem: Seeing inside the mind of one of the characters just disturbed me. I know it was supposed to be that way, but I didn’t like those parts at all. 

Thats just me personally. I am in the camp where I wouldn’t recommend this book but I’m also not telling others to forget about it. 

I usually love Peter Swanson so I think this was just an off book for me. 

So, I can see why some people may feel like this book was trying to do too much, but I had a lot of fun with it. I didn't exactly go where I wanted it to go, even though I really thought I was right on a plot twist or too. I really enjoy books where you can see

the killer's point of view

, and the fact that this one still had some twists and turns was great for me. I also really enjoyed Hen's point of view, although I'm not sure how accurate of a depiction of bipolar is with it; Swanson also continues to do a decent job of a man writing a woman's view.

I definitely didn't see the fact that he didn't have a brother and it was a split personality at all, and I felt incredibly stupid for not realizing that she almost slept with and then got almost raped by one of his victims.
