A dark journey into a serial killer's twisted mind. Out of nowhere, a retired 60-year old handyman goes on a murder-spree, abducting healthy young people and torturing them with hand-tools. After he's caught, a media fascination in The Handyman swells. People want to know why he snapped. They want to hear ALL the grisly details. But he'll only tell his gruesome story to one person-- His estranged son. From the author of the acclaimed horror novel Intercepts comes this must-read for anyone who is fascinated by serial killers. Not for the faint-of-heart.

This book was written so well, and I think it has some really good lines in there about the interest of true crime. The beginning was amazing and started like an episode of criminal minds or CSI, but gets a little stale and the moments in between when the main character is speaking with his father was rather boring and/or weird. None of the characters are likeable, and it made it hard to really enjoy reading from any pov. But in the end I did really enjoy the writing, and even though the end didn't really feel like anything and nothing feels figured out I did enjoy it for the most part.
