Murder

I liked this book. The mystery surrounding the killings was nice. the way that Theresa's mind works and the way she looks at a case is impressive. She is not easily shoken up by anything. This I liked. She made for a strong female lead. Yet despite the strong presense of Theresa and the grusome killings of the Torso Killer, which were not really that gory, I found the story just alright. I was only after I had gotten almost all the way done and had a third of the story left that I was like what just happened? The killer had been idenified but I could not remember the clues pointing to him and then the ending did not finish strongly. The whole time the story again was fine but then when it came to the ending it seemed to just be rushed and over quickly. ( )

I enjoyed the way Lisa Black wrote this book. The transition between the 1930's case and the present day case was written well. Although I had an idea who the guilty person was early on in the book, it was challenging to put all the pieces together to "make a case" against that person. It is fascinating that part of the book was based on a real case. I am interested in using the bibliography information in the back of the book to research the case more. ( )

I'm still reading this book but it seems like I've been reading it forever. It's such a slow read, I don't know if I'm going to finish it. It's a good story but unlike the other reviews, I feel there's something wrong here but I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps it's because it doesn't flow for me. I like the story but I'm just not engaged. ( )
