A surprisngly entertaining story!
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024
I enjoyed reading Anthony's suspenseful and creative story. The characters were unique and interesting people that I could relate to well. I found the killer's motives to be frightening and deranged. It made me wonder how many other normal looking people may actually be crazy too. I was engrossed as the killer plotted his next diabolical crime. I may be an odd person, because I found the description of the crimes to be rather entertaining and I had a big laugh at the horrible scene. I was surprised by the ending and found it very satisfying. I am looking forward to reading more stories by this talented author.

This book grips your attention from the very beginning. A schoolteacher’s children confess to their mother that they have found the body of a mermaid. This story literally takes the reader worldwide, searching for a brutal killer. The victims are creatively murdered in one shocking way after another. If you enjoy (behind the scenes and headlines) details of how murder investigations are conducted, then this book is for you. The author creates credible, imperfect characters devoted to searching for the killer. You can’t help but root for them to succeed.
