Romantic and Refreshing.
I don't like people killing people and treat it as art. Even if its for the greater good... If that person needs to die to progress humanity so be it! Let the proper authorities deal with it. Let the professionals do their work. Man don't go out and start killing and then spelling your name with a corpse... just dont....
But I don't deny that its a compelling plot device. Mass murders and serial killing is very romantic coz it begets intrigue, fear, motivation, trill, and stimulates high level of problem solving.
As a reader of this trill ride, I felt excitement and a blood thirsty curiosity on each and every chapter on a level that trumps most mystery thriller I have consumed, which are few. It was refreshing to see multiple different sides of a murder than that of the main character's point of view or of the killer's. The MC's outlook is still prevalent but its not like most mystery themed stories, he mostly takes the back seat and every time he tries to lead a bunch of training wheels are placed and others keep telling him that he sucks and needs to stay out of the way. Most of his interaction with the case is by cleaning the remains of the corpse, which is his job. But later on the crimes circle in close to him due to his line of work.
Its not perfect or a masterpiece (yet) but its freshness and romantic pursue of truth and revelations got me tuning for more. Check it out!!
