Negative Positive
Title: Gory
Review: For a first novel this is excellent. I liked the writing and the characters but the plot felt a bit over the top. It's definitely not a book for the faint hearted. The solution dropped the grade for me. I was even tempted towards a 3 but given that I enjoyed the first three quarters of the book I decided this was unfair. Without giving any spoilers I cannot say why I disliked the denouement other than that the psychology seemed a bit dime store. Overall this is a good if not great thriller that passed a day at the pool.
