And it seems the mystery behind Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried...

Review of 'Triptych' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I had been warned that Triptych was violent. I was not prepared for it to be so unrelentingly, brutally, and graphically violent. Mystery/thriller is my favorite genre. I get that a degree of violence is often part of the deal. Slaughter went to a wildly unreasonable extreme. This story could have been told with even more mystery/surprise (and better character and plot development) without the constant assault.
