I almost didn’t read this because it was in the “Mystery” section of the library and that is not my usual stomping grounds. I’m still not really sure how this amounts to a mystery, but I am glad that I searched it out and read it. It was brutal…that part will stay with me and haunt me, but the writing was better than lots of the “literary” fiction. The story grabbed me and I had to keep reading. So, lesson learned, don’t judge a book by it’s genre?

Fast read, beautifully written, explicit sex and violence, powerful book.
