Corktown: Abby Kane Thriller

Although well-written and interesting, this book crossed the line (for me). The graphic sex was unnecessary and off-putting. I've decided not to read any more of these stories. There are enough writers who do not use gratuitous violence to sell books.

Abby Kane is a stepmother to two children of her deceased husband. She has a live-in mother-in-law to help tend the children while she works. She and her partner go to Detroit to find a serial killer. The wrinkle is that the same MO is used currently to kill people even though a man is sitting in prison for committing earlier crimes with this MO.

I didn't understand how Abby leaped to some of her conclusions in solving the case. However, this is fiction. I had to skip over the gory parts; I didn't find that entertaining. I got the six-book compilation of the first stories of this series. However, I've dumped them because of the graphic nature of this writing.
