I wasn’t sure I was going to finish this one because the first half felt a little predictable and repetitive. The concept was too good to abandon, though, and the second half turned out to be excellent.
2.5 stars. The story starts off very fast paced and it's interesting but somewhere half way through the book I started to lose interest. I didn't feel attached to ANY of the characters, not one and I think that may be why I began to lose interest in the story. The storyline is very interesting and there are some interesting twists near the end but I don't care about the characters at all. I know this book is the first in a series but I don't think I'll be continuing this series, but who knows I may change my mind, just to find out what's going to happen next.… (más)
Wow did I dislike this book. I hated the characters and had multiple issues with the storyline. I would have DNF’d it within the first few chapters if it wasn’t for a book club. I plan to stay away from this author entirely.

This is the second book that I've read from this author. Both were well-written and had some type of poison and murder as part of the plot.
This one involves a serial murderer, drug (opiate) addiction, and some surprisingly strange quack cures! I was really surprised by the ending.
