That's a very good way of putting it and, although I don't entirely agree with you, I do understand what you mean. The "baddies" in the Rebus books are generally "straightforward" violent criminals, but Elizabeth George tends to have characters who are mentally disturbed rather than merely "criminal". I do find them disturbing books to read.
