"Books are time travel. True readers all know this. But books don’t just take you back to the time in which they were written; they can take you back to different versions of yourself."
― Peter Swanson, Eight Perfect Murders
A specialty bookstore owner as an expert in classic mystery/thrillers is now talking about these 8 perfect murders alongside these 8 blogs; but are they truly are they were cracked up to be especially now that they captured the world's attention alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigations Office?

When the spotlight is on we uncover the truths. Malcolm Kershaw is being followed, imitated, and possibly duplicated-by the killer.
The fact the author uses older stories that don't mix well into the remainder of the story and create haphazard pauses throughout is a different form of a killer because it's from these stories that the rest of the plot becomes ignited and inflamed.
Several spoilers are among this novelty portrayal and Swanson does well in hitting those marks for the latter portion of this Malcolm Kershaw -first in the series- work.
Now, the fact that the blogs connect the FBI to Malcolm's doorstep also weigh heavily on the minds of readers because Malcolm isn't perfect, he's had a rough go with his ex-wife's unexpected passing, and the other characters or shall I say -victims- are equally flawed.
The finger pointing goes from the hunter to the hunted and back and forth we go till we're not sure who to trust or who to blame.
Either way it's about the classic novels, the blogs, and the character development of a single minded narrator who takes it all on his shoulders and delivers a one-two punch.
