I really enjoyed this and think that the author did a wonderful job of focusing on the victims of the murders. You don't even know the identity of the murderer until halfway through and he doesn't spend a lot of time trying to figure out why he did it or making him into some sort of criminal mastermind or someone other than a bad guy who did horrific things.

I'll also say that for readers in the LGBTQ+ community, I imagine this would be a tough read as there is a lot of discussion about anti-queer violence and how especially in the 1980s and 1990s (and still?!) it was brushed aside and even considered warranted. It was hard to hear awful and hateful things said about the queer community by the people who were supposed to protect them. It's not like I was surprised to hear police saying those things, but it's still hard.
