Title: Ehhhh...
Product review: Unfortunately this book failed to excite me at all. It wasn't wonderful, it wasn't terrible - it was just... average. The plot was straightforward and without any complexities, despite some strange elements to the murders themselves. I had hoped that the title character of this series would stand out in some way, but I did not find him to be particularly sympathetic at all. His obsessive nature was off-putting, and it was difficult to muster up any positive emotion for him whatsoever. The cartoonish ending - complete with the villains full explanation of motive! - fell flat for me and added to the rather inauthentic vive I received from the entire book. It never felt "real" or even all that difficult to solve the mystery. For a debut to a series, it simply failed to intrigue me to continue on with it.
