What would've otherwise been a compelling thriller lost me with police brutality, "we know our victim is a lesbian because her hymen was intact" (not how lesbians or hymens work), the lodge of racist policemen that the police chief seems only vaguely bothered by, and some of the most vile transmisogyny I've ever read. Literally, the state-enforced chemical castration of the sexual predator made his voice high-pitched (to my understanding, not medically possible in someone post-puberty), gave him breasts, and made him cross-dress. I only finished it so I could in good conscience review it, as I don't review DNFs.
Won't be revisiting this author, and I'm rethinking my intention to try and get into this genre.
