- I haven't read a murder mystery investigation type book in a minute so I forgot how much I enjoyed them
- I loved how it looks into corruption and problems with Churches bc thats a topic that has been investigated and needs to continue being investigated
- knowing the killed removed the boys' genitals had me thinking there was some sort of CSA involved but really reading it has me upset. Knowing how many boys they were and that the killer was the favorite :(
- him saying at the end that he didn't want it and didn't like it was monumental bc how could a child want it? How can someone like being violated and abused like that? It really mattered to him to the end that he didn't want it and it's even more upsetting bc I imagine he would psychologically tortured himself into trying to be like no yeah I liked it and I wanted it like it wasn't that serious but no.
- I liked the two detective priests, i liked it was them who solved the case, the parallels there are undeniable
- the build up was great from beginning to end
- I wanted more flair when they figured out who the killer was but tbh that would've been too dramatic
- this read like a criminal mind's episode which I loved, I'm sure I can find some similar episode to this somewhere
- anyways really good read!!
