Welcome to the world of female serial killers - aka the world of Daphne.
I LOVED that DAPHNE incorporated women's basketball as the main event. Often times we're in a remote cabin in the woods, a summer camp, or a neighborhood with generic kids, but these students actually had talent (which makes this even more sad).
I was definitely surprised by the ending of DAPHNE, and Malerman kept me guessing the whole time. Overall, this is a slower read but I enjoyed it because I like slow burns.
