it was ok

** spoiler alert ** Well, it wasn't bad. It read easily enough, and I could see the strands of the story well enough to make it interesting but I don't think that I understood the characters. A lot of time spent on each main character, but it still felt like an exercise.
The things that bugged me mostly were....
It was a small-town police force and the help left on the morning of the killings. Why were they not replaced? How does one policeman on his own in a department find time to spend all his days fishing, and drinking and generally falling apart. The policeman never did figure out why he was contacted by the psycho and proceeded to drink himself to oblivion. Why was he even in the story?
I was never really sure when the story was based. There were references to Vietnam, and a period of time passing and then reference to a DVD security system. Early 2000's? Not a show stopper, but felt sketchy.
Why did the main villain keep disappearing off to the pub and leaving the victim tied up?
How did he transport the victim from one location to another?
Why not find one location and stay there?
A little convenient at the end. How did the girl escape after having no success in doing so for x number of weeks?
Apart from that, it was ok.
