I read through this book in two sittings, so it was definitely engaging as a read. It was just not that satisfying as a read in the end. It was well written and the storyline is interesting and moves along quickly. I thought the relationship between Eddison and Priya, even though platonic and caring, was inappropriate for his role .... I think anyone who acted like that with a teenage victim would be suspended. spoiler: (view spoiler)[The killer was pretty obvious - why throw in an extra character who appears regularly and keeps interacting with Priya, but no one even considers or suspects in spite of this . And then suddenly at the end, he is the guy. . (hide spoiler)] Some parts that tied in with the Butterfly murders were a bit confusing and I did not really like Priya's mom - a tough B, yeah, maybe, but her action did not ring true. I thought Priya's character was well done - she was likable, tough and smart. I also liked the little scenerios from the killer's point of view about his crimes, and the role the flowers played throughout the book.
