The third book has an even worse ending in my opinion, the series started out strong but it went downhill so fast! Fun fact the third book has another serial killer we never heard about before.
I clocked the new neighbor being the catfish almost instantly, it was too obvius (as most things in the series are not that is necessarily a bad thing) but the reporter being the son came so out of left field it felt like it was just a twist for the sake of the book having a twist.
I honestly feel bad for the cop she accused in every book, turns out he was just an asshole. The mc went from mildly infuriating to absolutely insufferable tbh.
Overall I am frustrated by how this series went I need someone to went to. I still enjoyed it, but fuck what a way to ruin a good thing

Actually I can see how a 10yo could lure in the victims (i don't really remember the specifics of it in the book anymore so i could be wrong with how I'm picturing it now), helping dispose of the bodies is far fetched tough I'll admit.
The serial killer in the third book has the same mo as the duct tape killer. I can't vent my frustration with that whole storyline properly without spoiling the entire book, but it gets so far fetched it made the second book look realistic
