Disturbance by Jan Burke
3.0
This was a fast read, but I did not enjoy this book or the one previous as much as I did her earlier novels. I feel like Burke's been influenced by the popularity of the TV show "Dexter," as she has become more focused on the thinking and gruesome details of serial killers; and a lot more violence witnessed and experienced by her heroine Irene.
As a former newspaper journalist, I did enjoy how she described what is happening to the world of journalism and the collapse of in-depth news reporting. But all-in-all, if I had read this book first, I would never have picked up her other mysteries. Is this another case of pleasing the publisher instead of being true to what you know as a writer?
