Such a great premise, Dr. Vincent Blackburn, a forensic psychiatrist investigating a Louisiana serial killer. The ‘Cajun Cannibal’ has killed and consumed the flesh of eight people. Before the killer can be caught, he took his own life. When a copycat killer emerges, Dr. Vincent Blackburn is determined to get to the truth before it is too late.
I really wanted to love this one. For me there were too many characters, not enough action, throughout the book, and some parts that were just too slow for my taste. I struggle with slow burns and while some may enjoy how the author builds the story and peels back the layers, I found myself getting impatient.
Things that I did enjoy were how the author created tension and a sense of dread. There are a few I-think-something-bad-is-about-to-happen moments which I enjoyed.
This is more of an issue that it was me and not the book. The book has some glowing reviews so please read them as well.
Thank you to Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
