As a fan of the serial killer genre, the mentions of “supernatural” in some of the press about this one caused me some hesitation. I like the eventually-a-loser evil to be human. This one, however, doesn’t position the supernatural in any direct way regarding the “hero” or “villain(s)”.
That said, this is less a typical serial killer book than an exploration of coming to terms with trauma. I enjoyed the time spent with Ruth but in the end this was not a book for me.
