I have this sneaky suspicion Beukes is a genius. I never write in books, but I found myself underlining quotes like crazy in this. It took me three days to read this because I didn't want to miss any of the clever lines. I look forward to reading The Shining Girls now.
Now, I really didn't care about the serial killer in the story. I enjoyed the tour of Detroit's art scene and I felt like the story bogged down at some points. The ending is worth hanging in there for.
This is one of those reads that really spoke to me, but I'm not sure who to recommend it to. Normal thriller lovers will lose patience with it, and it's not really horror (although Hannibal came into my mind often while I was reading). I will even go as far as to say there is a touch of Gaiman in here.
