★★☆☆☆
Let me save you some time (spoilers ahead)
This storyline got harder and harder to believe as it went on. The protagonist is a socially awkward biologist that somehow creates a system to track the murders of a serial killer, which is already a stretch. Somehow his character develops into someone with the skills of a criminal psychologist and by the end of the book he is able to predict the next moves of the killer with almost total accuracy, which is a huge leap. Next, he is in the middle of a very intense shootout with this very serial killer and is somehow able to draw up and self-administer medications, start an arterial line (?!?), and strap an IV pump to his chest to receive "synthetic blood" (is this set in the future?), and arm himself with syringes of sedatives after being shot THREE TIMES, all in the span of a few minutes. The climax makes no sense at all, we are led to believe that this serial killer has murdered 300 people while masquerading as a cougar and/or grizzly bear AND brought the meth epidemic to Montana (lol what??), all while running a successful tow truck business and living with his wife and some step kids. Seems legit.
