Welcome to Litsy!

This is a “soft” pick for me. I didn‘t hate it but didn‘t love it either. More of a character study than a mystery for me. Not much action. Will and his Aunt were totally unnecessary characters. Actually most characters felt like they didn‘t move the plot forward. I did like Inez, the shop owner/landlord. We learn who the killer is 1/3 of the way in, so that really lessened the tension. The book was just ok for me.

I have been reading this for almost a week now. I keep getting distracted by my phone.

I started this book not knowing anything about it. Because of the title, I was hoping this was a horror story about a rottweiler running amok. Instead this is a book about a serial killer, nicknamed The Rottweiler, because one of his victims was found with a bite mark. Hmmm, seems like a pretty weak nickname.
