I was looking for something with some actual dark grit to it, and this definitely delivered. It reads extremely fast and had me hooked pretty much the whole way through. You are put right into the head of a deeply delusional psychopath, and watching him spiral is an uncomfortable but gripping ride. The climax really caught me off guard—things get incredibly bizarre and tense once he crosses the point of no return.
My only real complaint is how it wraps up. It seemed to end abruptly; Crouch gave it a conclusion, but it felt really rushed and just sort of stopped without showing any of the actual aftermath. Overall though, it was a great, fast-paced thriller and exactly the kind of darker read I was looking for.
