When she was twelve years old, Eve Black's parents and sister were murdered by an unknown assailant. Eve was lucky to survive. As a type of therapy, Eve began writing. Now she has written a true crime memoir about her family and the serial killer who was never caught.
Jim is a security guard at a local supermarket. He bought a copy of Eve's book and is reading it. Jim isn't happy. He is the person who committed several rapes and murders, and he believes Eve is getting close to the truth about the Nothing Man.
This book has many 5-Star ratings, but I just couldn't get into it. I listened to the audiobook, and I made it to 42% before giving up. I couldn't listen anymore. At that point we had rehashed many rapes and murders that Jim had committed prior to killing Eve's family. I don't know if it was my mood, but I just couldn't listen to any more of it. DNF.

Was throughly captivated by this book! Loved the aspects from the survivor and the killer.
This was so very well done. It was quite unique. This is my 2nd book by this author (the first being 56 DAYS which I also enjoyed). I liked this one even better. I found it to be creepy on many levels, compelling but also thought provoking. It is told from 2 points of view-the victim and the killer. The victim tells her story in a book published many years after being traumatized and devastated at a young age. Her reason for finally telling her story is her hope he can be caught and punished for all he took from her and from his other victims. The killer's perspective (and his truly evil nature) is told in the present day as he reads the book, reacts and makes his plans to thwart discovery of his identity. I am impressed and will be reading more of this author!
