[WARNING!! This post contains spoilers - read on at your own risk!] I really liked the premise but was unprepared for the level of graphic descriptions of the various crimes committed throughout.   I wasn’t a fan of the time jumps. I think the background info that was established during them could have been accomplished another way. It also contributed to the beginning feeling really rushed.  Maria was a tough character for me. I found her slightly sympathetic but I felt like she lacked depth, particularly as it pertains to her professional life. A lot of her reactions felt like they would not have come from an accomplished academic, until she miraculously is able to use her training to understand how Butler ticks and save the day.  I’m never one to figure out the twist in advance and this was no exception, though it did end up being one of the theories I had along the way, which is rare.  Overall, it was a quick read and despite my critiques, I still needed to know how it ended.  Than
