SHUT YOUR EYES TIGHT by John Verdon *****

This was a well written mystery with serial killers, child molesters, the child slavery thing with heads cut off and all kinds of other gory neat stuff.
I liked the characters, altho the lead Gurney was kind of passionless or unconcerned about his relationship with his wife. They both had issues with each other and never discussed anything remotely personal except when the wife went apeshit that a killer had been in their home.
So quite a few murderers involved, quite a few bad girls involved from a psycho ward and the parents who actually committed them to get them out of the house. The girls had a LOT wrong with them. Of course the killers had even MORE wrong with THEM.
I like this type of psychological thriller. It was a page turner but sometimes too deep and confusing to just read for hours. You have to put it down, think about other stuff for awhile and come back to it. Very involved.
Buy it and take your time. Worth it.
