There aren’t chapters in this one, it is just broken up into now and the past by paragraph. This has the affect of keeping bits hidden for longer and making you want to read on to see what went on before. We start with the victim, Maya, being questioned by the FBI and work backwards to piece together what has happened previously. It is written in a different style to what we usually see with serial killer thrillers. It is harrowing and scary and written in such a way that Hutchinson doesn’t need to spell out all the gory details – you will fill them in by yourself, and that makes this one all the more terrifying. Even those hardened to the genre may question some of what is in this book. However much you read crime fiction, serial killer thrillers, scary suspense novels, you may not be ready for this one. □ If you pick this one up, you won’t put it down, and you’ll be captivated from start to finish. Once I’d finished this one, it took me a little while to articulate my thoughts enough to write a proper review, but I think I managed it. It had a unique writing style and a disturbing plot. The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson was a harrowing read.
