About this eBook
It’s a hot, hot summer, and in the depths of the Toronto Transit Authority’s Lost and Found, 17-year-old Duncan is cataloging lost things and sifting through accumulated junk. And between Jacob, the cranky old man who runs the place, and the endless dusty boxes overflowing with stuff no one will ever claim, Duncan’s just about had enough. Then he finds a little leather book. It’s a diary filled with the dark and dirty secrets of a twisted mind, a serial killer stalking his prey in the subway. And Duncan can’t make himself stop reading.

Very good YA read. Quick and suspenseful with just the right amount of teen angst and turmoil. The plot flows nicely and is not overwrought or simplistic. Characters, mostly, are a bit flat, but likeable nonetheless. Excellent use of language - fun and familiar without an overabundance of needless profanity. I am not the fastest reader, but this one ended way too soon and I was left wanting more.

Had fun with the characters although they are a bit stereotypical. I hated the Climax and Ending. I totally would not guess who the killer is before you read this or you will be deeply disappointed like me.
