Title: Four stars for originality
Review: This is a very strange book, an interesting mystery, well written in the mystery genre. The protagonist, or "hero," if we can call him that, works as a splatter specialist for the police in Miami. He is also a serial killer that only kills "bad" people. I found the narrative voice extremely disturbing. This man feels no human emotion or attachment, and goes through life pretending to be human, as he puts it. He knows how to mimic normal human relationships. But every now and then, he has to kill someone. He finds other serial killers to kill. No matter how much this might make him a sort of "good guy," the truth is that it would only be a matter of time before he feels compelled to kill someone else. I found it just so bleak. I did not like this hero. Having said that, I did find the story unusual and a worthy mystery.
