This book was insane. The twists and turns will have you feeling all around confused but in the best way. The Serial Killer v Medical Examiner take on a thriller is gut wrenching and all around enjoyable. Urquhart's time as a co-host for the podcast Morbid really shines in this novel and helps bring the reader into the story. Highly recommend it.
