The Sinner

Our August theme for my regular book club is “Tess Garritson” - Read any book of hers and discuss at the next meeting.

This was a decent mystery. A tad bit predictable - I guessed both of the villians of the piece before they were uncovered. Garritson knows her stuff - sometimes too well. I found it difficult to get started on the book as just three pages in she gives a fairly explicit description of an autopsy. Since I never intend to attend an autopsy and be able to remember it (the only one I hope to ever be at is my own!), and medical descriptions make me a bit nervous, I took the first few chapters slowly, and finally braced myself for the rest of the book.

Recommended to anyone who likes mysteries, conspiracies, and accurate medical depictions.
