After a book of many subtleties, it seems I chose one with none at all...
Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter. Murder mystery/thriller. This was very well done. It felt a bit rough at first, but settled in quickly to a compelling story. The characters, while nothing too far out of the ordinary, are interesting and well drawn with some additional psychological insights attempted (with varying success). The plot is intriguing and the mystery remains quite well hidden. It is also quite an ugly story with very explicit sexual violence, making it quite uncomfortable reading at times. If you don't mind the violence it's probably a 4/5, but I felt it lacked enough other touches to counteract the effects, so I'm settling on 3/5.
