Decent read… one plot twist was incredibly shocking although I kind of guessed it earlier in the book. Definitely look up trigger warnings prior to reading but otherwise, average thriller IMO.

"Thirty years ago, police chief Edward Shank hunted down and killed the most notorious serial killer in Seattle's history: the Beacon Hill Butcher. Now, eighty years old and retired, Edward is giving up his Victorian home to his grandson Matt, an aspiring chef. While Matt is renovating it, he stumbles upon a gruesome cache. Matt must decide whether he should ignore the sinister secret, go to the police, or take matters into his own hands. And his family's past is feeding disturbing changes in himself as well... Sam, his girlfriend, believes that her mother may have been killed by the Beacon Hill Butcher - even though the murder took place two years after Edward Shank gunned down the killer. But Sam's search is bringing her too close to the truth... and right into the path of Matt's terrible secret"-- Back cover.
