I have mixed feelings on this one. It's pretty original (e.g., a serial killer worries about how his lifestyle might be affecting his children!) and quite twisty. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's also told from one POV rather than multiple, which is unusual for most of the thrillers written in recent years. On one hand that perspective worked fine, but I was left wanting in the end. It might have been nice to see things from another perspective (not saying who that other is, but I imagine it's easy to guess). I just felt the "voice" of the story was a bit flat and didn't always capture the emotion of the story. With that said, I was far from bored while reading it so I'll be on the lookout for more from Samantha Downing in the future.
