Kisscut

Although the mystery of the book was rather simple, I think the characterizations and the portrayal of childhood sexual trauma was spot on. There were so many fully formed characters, and the way that they brought out sides of our main characters Jeffrey, Sara, and Lena, that we hadn't seen before was masterfully done. We got so much more information on our main characters, motivations, their strengths, and their weaknesses from merely seeing them react to the events of the case. For that reason alone, this book deserves five stars, but the creative way that she tackled a relatively straightforward type of crime was the icing on the cake.
