The unforgivable flaw
This book is severely flawed in too many ways to count. The unforgivable flaw regards the use of Polaroids as a key factor in the crimes committed. The story takes place after 2017, but Polaroid stopped making film for its cameras in 2008. The shelf life of a cassette of Polaroid film was 12 months. After that the images became severely degraded until the film became unusable. Therefore, the way that the Polaroid film was supposedly used in the story was not possible. This was an easy thing to research, yet the author missed it. That alone rates the book as one star, not even counting all of its other flaws. I read it through to the end to see if there was something redeeming about it, but there was not. I wasted my time. Don't waste yours.

Good but. .......
The. Story was good but I had several problems with it. There were often places where it was unclear who the person talking was. I would have to reread it several times to understand who it referred to. I also was unclear about the DNA evidence. It said the DNA linked the killer to all the victims. If this was so what took them long to solve the crimes?

tries too hard
Not a fan of this type of writing. Tries too hard to sound like the research was done when it clearly wasn’t. The writing is juvenile at best.
