It started kinda slow and was a bit of a drag but It picked up pace and I guessed

that Harriet is alive

I did not appreciate the excessive descriptive scene of gruesome acts against women but I guess the book is a product of its time. 
It's a engaging mystery novel but it was not really extraordinary and the plot didn't surprise me that much.

The first half was incredibly slow. It took forever to build up to the actual storyline. I am also still trying to figure out why it was necessary to use such graphic detail to describe a violent sexual assault to one of the main characters.
