However, I'd tread cautiously. Did you ever try the TV series based on these books - Wire In The Blood? It's definitely graphic. I do like the way Val McDermid writes. You might try her standalone book, A Place Of Execution first and see if you like that one.

Book one Hill/Jordan was about mutilation sex murders of gay men. I put it back on the shelf still not quite sold. <br /><br />However I do read and love Karin Slaughter, so maybe I could accept these books more as a procedural and less as a sensationalist story. So many respected bloggers couldn't be off the mark on this.Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-16161251923833681552015-08-12T14:50:43.909-05:002015-08-12T14:50:43.909-05:00I've heard she is very interesting.
