Title: Unecessarily sordid
Review: I must admit I'm picky, but I don't read mysteries for the gory details. This had some interesting characters but contained too much detail on emotional and physical cruelty. It could have been far more subtle and much more compelling. I also guessed most of the solution halfway through. If the author had focused more on exploring the emotional interplay it would have been more sophisticated and enjoyable.
