Left Me in the Dark

I'm intrigued by the minds of crazy people and like to try to figure out why they do the crazy, bad, gruesome, horrid, and very strange things they do.
This novel left me SO in the dark on the problem with Tate. Even included in the story is a forensic profiler type who almost gets to the point... and then loses it.
I thought the story was unique, and the setting and scope of Marian's work were beautiful and interesting. I actually unintentionally learned a lot! Kudos to the amount of hands-on actual research the author put forth.
Segments of the story are pretty predictable, but I was still excited by it, and it kept my interest. But, without getting even a clue as to WHY Tate might have been compelled to kill these women (or did I miss something??) I feel like it was a big waste of my time, and I was left frustrated. Will anyone enlighten me on what I might have missed?

Great for women who like the outdoors

With love for nature and animals, this book captivates through its descriptions of life spent outdoors. Timely, well-written, and thoroughly researched, the author peels back the layers of shame felt by victims of abuse and the strategies of their abuser. This book will stay with me for a long time. It wasn’t until I heard the author’s acknowledgements that I understood that though this is fiction, it is based in reality. It’s an unusual, but beautiful story, terrific performance.

I didn’t see that coming

This story was quite interesting and so different from what I expected. It was captivating throughout its entirety. Never a dull moment. I even appreciated the afterword from the author. Well worth the credit
