If this had been written by a ninth or tenth grade student I would have given it a "C" and only then because I admire the perseverance it takes to complete a novel and the courage it takes to submit it for public view.  The writing is stilted, word choice is often incorrect, and the dialogue is juvenile.  Even the sex scene was like something out of a teen's fantasy.  Yes, I read through to the end.  I started to toss it out at about 10% completed but wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt.  My mistake!  The story line is derivative, but, then, aren't most serial killer books becoming derivative now?  Good writing could have made up for that.  Unfortunately...well...A good editor might have made it at least acceptable.
