This could've had 5 stars but the beginning 50-75% of this book was so slow. The interview didn't start until maybe 70% if I'm remembering correctly. And unfortunately once we got into the actual interview, it was cut short by the book ending. I honestly couldn't believe that the book ended when it did. I expected the whole book to be based on the interview, but the beginning 50-70% was following the main character's life from a child up until the point of his life when he conducts the interview. If the author either cut the beginning part a bit shorter or extended the end of this book, the story would've really benefited. 

All of that being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this. There are a lot of horror author references in this book too which if you're like me, you'll probably also enjoy.

I also appreciated how this book handled the discussion about religion. I thought it was interesting and well done.

This book was absurd but it was certainly a bloodbath.

Genuinely the most incompetent set of police officers in this story but I guess I can’t fault the book for being realistic. I loved this book. I was so engrossed in the story and I thought the twist at the end was nicely done.

A couple of kinds pulling so many fast-ones on the police department was a bit unbelievable. But if you put that aside, it’s a great story.
