This is the first book I have read by Stephen Puleston.  The story was compelling and difficult to put down.  The characters are interesting and as someone who lived in Wales, these characters do remind me of people I knew there.The story itself is about a serial killer who definitely has an agenda - unlike most serial killers who want to go on killing - this killer has a beginning and an ending in mind.  For that reason the various suspects never truly match the crimes.  The unmasking of the real killer was a surprise.Som references have been made about the OCD that Inspector Drake suffers from, I don't think that it was referenced too much.  OCD is exactly like it was described, and it needed to be, in order for the reader to truly grasp the severity of it.  Just one question regarding that; OCD is usually due to some childhood trauma or abuse, I wonder if this will be addressed in future books.
