Very graphic and violent towards women. As crazed and full of exclamation marks as the TV series it spawned.

3.25
Not my typical cup of tea, but it was recommended by a friend for a lover of police procedurals like Law & Order. Also, I was looking to watch the show but wanted to read the book first as I often do. Turns out the book and the TV show share a main character's name and profession but that's pretty much where the similarities end. It was pretty grisly and overly descriptive of heinous crimes for my taste, but I will say I generally enjoyed the storyline and it kept my attention until the end. 3.25 stars.
