It’s hard not to compare this to [b:The Butterfly Garden|29981261|The Butterfly Garden (The Collector, #1)|Dot Hutchison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1461392121l/29981261._SX50_.jpg|47426931], it is the first book in the series after all, but this is a very different type of story. It took me a while to adjust my expectations and understand what this story was going to be. In the first book we are thrown into a horrifying experience with Inara. We know the villian, we also know that she comes out alive along with some of the girls. In this book, we’re not really sure how Priya connects to this serial killer in present time besides her sister’s death years ago. The danger is much more indirect. Again, Hutchison writes really great relationships between characters. That is definitely her strongest asset. I’m not sure how much I would have liked this story if not for the relationships between Priya and her mother, and Eddison and her. I liked this book, but didn’t love it. It felt much more like a typical mystery procedural, which is totally fine, but not my preferred type of book.
