The whole crime solving aspect of the book was REALLY interesting and kept me invested in the story the whole time. As someone who loves The Naturals (which is a YA series where a group of teens are trying to help the FBI solve cold cases), that was perfect (and it also put me in a mood for a Naturals reread). The characters were also pretty well-developed in my opinion.
At the same time, though, there were many disgusting/disturbing parts of the book that I didn't like. There was quite a bit of graphic violence in particular. (See the content warnings section for a more comprehensive list.)
One other thing: I thought Dr. Lecter would play a more prominent role in the story, but he only made an appearance a handful of times (he was giving major evil mastermind vibes, so I was rather disappointed he didn't play a more prominent role).
