I'm not that into mystery as a genre, but this book was incredibly well written and drew me in quite well.  It's left me with somewhat mixed feelings at the end, but it was an enjoyable read at least. While the CW list is quite a lot, I would say it's not as bad as you might think. I put them as graphic as they are explicitly described, but I personally didn't think it was all to bad.
