That was a sad ending. Mostly because there's no "bad guy" getting what he deserves. It is realistic though. I'm personally annoyed at Nashville Jones and that doctors privilege though. They didn't know the brother had already killed 12 other, girls but they only thought about saving the person they know and not considering the effects on the one girl they did know about. And because of that for fifteen years those other girls deaths went unnoticed. Overall this book was more interesting then the last. Not too happy about Nadine making another book since it sounds like we'll be stuck with that case cropping all the time like the icove case.
