Go ahead and add this one to your reading stack post haste. This book was every bit as good as everybody says- plus the added layers of what I found to be a fascinating Irish setting. It's a book within a book in that a serial killer-who is our narrator-sees a newly released book about his killings-as told by the only survivor of one of his last crimes. We then get chapters and pieces of the book she wrote interspersed with his present day life. Not only is it an ingenious plot structure, it's also surprisingly gripping. I absolutely couldn't put this book down once I got about midway. I spent the rest of the afternoon reading nonstop until I knew how it would end. Highly recommend.
