Very suspenseful book about a bunch of computer geeks who create a game about a serial killer, but a real maniac starts killing people in exactly the same way as the game and in the same order.

The characters are enjoyable, the cops all hav

I read this series several years ago and decided to revisit it in 2024. I thought it was a fantastic debut filled with everything I personally look for in a great story. The characters are exceptional and the detectives are filled with both personality and humor.
