CURRENT THOUGHTS: This one has an interesting plot for
sure. Three years ago, a young woman was kidnapped by a serial killer dubbed The Rose Killer. However, she managed to escape, and the killer was himself shot dead in front of her eyes by police. But now someone is emulating the kills of the dead man and have gone out of their way to make Kate very well aware of the fact that they are coming after her to finish what the original Rose Killer could not.
There are some mentions of rape in this novel which can be triggering to some people. However, I didn't find these scenes to be too detailed and are easily skipped. I find the handling of the original Rose Killer case to be a bit... well odd to be honest. The FBI has a statement from Kate that that had been the man who had kidnapped and held her captive, so they closed the case without any follow-up (including finding the cabin in which Kate had been held). I would have thought that they wouldn't have wanted to leave any loose ends. I also find it to be a little odd the way Ryan sometimes speaks to Kate as though they are strangers one minute, but then thinks of her as though he feels deeply towards her well-being. I'm sure its meant to convey his depth as a character, but it struck me as odd.
I am also fairly convinced I have figured out who is doing the killings now, something I figured out pretty early on, so if I'm right, that will be a disappointment as I feel like it was made glaringly obvious, and I would have liked to have a few more red herrings tossed in the mix to muddle the waters. |
