If I had a nickel for every time I loved a "teenage boy with serial killer tendencies becomes a sleuth when a serial killer comes to his small town" book, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

The audiobook is seriously 5stars as well.

I recommend the ebook. Character list and searching for when a character was introduced is a must; there's a whole lot in here.

This book has an engaging murder mystery, but the reason that I love it is because of the emotional character arc for Charles.

Yeah it's fine.

First read:
I think I may have just found a new favorite series.
Slow, funny, great relationships, much potential.

Second read:
It's been a month. I've already reread this book. I was impressed by how well the plot twists were set up beforehand. Just enough details to give you context when the reveal happens, but subtle enough not to give it away.

Booktone = Uranium Blue (intellectual and character focus)
