Hold it! I was promised something truly disturbing, and aside from the police chatter which had some genuinely horrific stuff, the actual case was kind of ...meh. 
 I kept thinking back to Scars, by Warren Ellis, and that was a far more disturbing case. Instead, the case was kind of like something out of Criminal Minds, and predictable. 
 Having said that, I liked the characters, I liked how different lives intersected throughout the story and how everything was woven together. The writing was top notch, I just wanted even more of that trademark Warren Ellis grit. 
 I listened to this as an audiobook. The performance was good.
