I did not like this book and chose not to finish it.

Documentary photographer Carl Feldman suffers from dementia. One day, he meets a young woman who claims to be his long lost daughter and pleads with Carl's guardian to take him on a road trip to get acquainted. During their travels, Carl discovers that she is not his daughter and accuses him of killing her sister as well as numerous other women across the state of Texas. Carl has no memory of murdering anyone. Is he a pathological liar and serial killer or an ailing old man? Julia Heaberlin has woven her mesmerizing words alongside eerie photos taking the reader on a terrifying journey side by side these two broken, sad, and hopeless individuals. If you enjoyed Black-eyed Susans, then this tale will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat until the thrilling finale.

I don’t know why Heaberlin isn’t a bigger name in publishing. She consistently delivers intelligent, high-octane thriller that surprise the hell out of me, and I think this book may be her best yet. Once a photographer known for his creepy photos, Carl Louis Feldman is now just an old man. A man who claims to remember little of his past. Then one day a woman claiming to be his daughter shows up, she also claims to know all about the girls he killed in the same locations he shot his photographs. He tells her he has no memory of killing anyone, nor does he remember her. But she gets him out of the halfway house where he lives and the two embark on a journey to all the places he took his photos, all the places she insists he killed people. Readers will know early on who the “bad guy” really is, but his in no way slows the action – nor will is slow the rapid pounding of your heart as you read. Highly recommended
