Lol. I'm not gonna lie, this book was trash. There was nothing riveting about the story and fans of true crime should really steer clear of this. I had not intended for it to be like my usually murder/thriller book, but I think from reading those so often this seemed soft. Also: soft porn. I'm not super sure what happened here. In comparison to the first of the series, the author seriously disappoints. The story doesn't make sense. Storylines with well off people offer greater expanses in setting and dialogue. This however, was so choppy. First they're here and then Joe is killing another person and then they're here... just doesn't make sense. It's also soft in the way that everything works out for him all the time. And it's not because he's “good” at killing, it's just because the author doesn't have enough mental creativity to weave multiple clues together to get him potentially in trouble. Case in point: the mug of urine. Tbh, this was much better as a Netflix show. The characters were so much better and believable and I'm glad the writers of the show took creative license away from the book.
