"Yeah, but she's my psychopath."
I still don't know how to accurately review this novel. I read it in its entirety in one day, which tends to make me like books more because I don't have to wait for things to happen. In this book are a lot of elements of my favorite tv shows, Criminal Minds and 24--FBI profilers, serial killers, torture, a drug-addicted hero, families broken by careers in law enforcement, etc. What was most interesting is that the main killer you deal with, Gretchen, is a woman.
One downside to this book was the language. It wasn't the worst I've read, but for some reason lately I've been avoiding books with much swearing, so the foul language that was in this book really stood out to me.
Also, if you have a weak stomach, you wouldn't do well with the torture scenes. It's interesting: I realize now that I've never read torture scenes, only seen them on 24. But reading them didn't bother me much and it's probably because I'm interested in that genre of television shows.
I just found out that this book is actually the first in a series of 4, and I think I'll definitely be reading the remaining 3. I'll let you know what I think.
