Review title: A decent mystery but unnecessarily gory
Product review: The characters were fairly well defined but I didn't much care what happened to them. It seemed the author was constantly trying to shock with violence, blood, and gore but those descriptions didn't enhance or support the plot or the story. If you can overlook the ridiculous amount of painstakingly detailed carnage, I think you'll find it a decent read but I wouldn't pay full boat for it if I had it to do over.
