MY THOUGHTS⇣
This one keeps you guessing throughout the book...and I thoroughly enjoyed this listening experience...but I did have some reservations about the ending. The narration by Ann Marie was really well performed, I just wish it had another narrator for the other POV's.
The Good: 1. The protagonist, Keye Street is a very likable character...she's super funny and really relatable. The supporting characters were also very likable. 2. The Mystery keeps you guessing throughout the book and I didn't see that ending coming at all...more on that below.
The Good and/or the Bad (depending on how you look at it): These weren't a problem for me, but some readers could be... 1. The story doesn't always fixate on the serial killer mystery alone...it also has her everyday type work too. Like chasing down bail-jumpers and serving subpoenas. There is also a lengthy search for a cow. 2. The things this particular serial killer does with their victims is brutal and the author does not shy away from that brutishness...not one bit.
The Bad: 1. There was a weird fixation on sexual preferences...it came up a lot and felt completely awkward. 2. The ending went way out into the left-field and I didn't really buy into it completely...at least parts of it, anyway. Hours later, I actually listened to the ending again because I wasn't sure I was remembering it right.
