Mimic was written in dual timelines following a narrative of three detectives on a trail of a serial killer who recreates the world's famous sculptures through the bodies of his victims. Fairly suspense and fast pacing, the backdrop somehow giving me that bleak and noir feeling. Totally love the central characters and their chemistry-- how the author relates both Chambers and Winter to Marshall, giving them a meet again after 7 years with each having their own heartbreak and trauma, haunted by the past due to the same incident. It irks me that their boss was kind of harsh and just go with that fake confession and let the case turns cold. \n\nNot much twisty (not really a whodunnit as you get a definite suspect along the way) or having that pack of punch I was hoping to get-- was a bit disappointed with the killer's motive as it was not as gripping or captivating much to me, only his style gets me invested that I envy on his determination in creating his 'art'. I also don't find Eloise character that appealing despite being the killer's muse, she did not stand out that much making me feel less connected to her premise. Nevertheless, I love the author's storytelling that I enjoyed few sarcastic dialogues and its dark humors, especially the interactions in between Chambers and Winter. \n\nWould consider this as a light and decent thriller, a kind that you would enjoy delving for the sleuth rather than the crime itself. Still a tension-filled read up for me, do give it shot if you're interested to try it out! \n\nps: I love the design of this book that it includes few drawings of sculpture (based on the case) and having laurel leaves on certain pages",3,"none","rv-01kr831cm2p1tb69gdgdbxywm1",[],"2026-05-10T04:41:27.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":120,"per_page":121,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":18},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kr831afb89ttbq0fw9d6dcb7\u002Freviews",20]
