Story
A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death. In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial-killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement.

Good Idea but Awkward Time Jumps
Reviewed: 05-23-24
The time jumps and time spent in the past/with “before” timelines makes this difficult to follow. Even the flashbacks don’t happen in a “linear” way, we are constantly jumping back and forth between years, decades, even centuries. The story takes a very long time to connect the different seemingly random tangents and there’s a lot of very technical/sometimes dry explanations.
The plot and theory itself though is very interesting

Felt like a history lesson
Reviewed: 05-17-24
The premise of this story is so interesting but there were several chapters in a row of just “lecturing” to explain the mythology.
The Alison character was given little to no dialogue and it seemed as if the author forgot she was there at all for large portions.
All the action/resolution is in the last hour of the book which was too bad
