I definitely did not see that twist coming
I am not really sure how I feel about this book. This book started off really slow but really picked up around in the last quarter of the book which has resulted in me giving this 3 stars.
While the twist was really well done and definitely took me off guard, I didn't enjoy the weird flashbacks of the killer's past that was peppered throughout the book in weird places. I also sometimes got confused about the timeline of the story and how close together the murders were.
The author did a good job giving some character development to a few of the characters but other secondary characters were just thrown in there and I wasn't always sure of their purpose in furthering the story.
Being from Maine myself it was fun to hear names of all the cities and major landmarks around Southern Maine. The author did do a good job of painting life in a small town in Maine and how everyone knows everyone. But do they really?
I listened to the audiobook and found the narrator, Peter Ganim, to be a little underwhelming. I really wish there had been a female narrator for Isabelle's role in the story.
