5.0

I consumed this book in one day.  

Loved everything that was written. The story is a collection of letters written to a Serial killer. The letters are written by his parents, friends, victim's families, religious groups, strangers, and anyone else that felt a need to contact Jonas. Its done in three sections -After the indictment. The trial, and life on death row.

I liked how we never directly hear from Jonas POVS yet we learned so much from those that he impacted. I felt like I was reading true events. 

I would recommend this novel to almost anyone.
