dark informative mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

A very well-written book from start to finish. Clarice's unique ability and identity as a woman was highlighted when the author noted that almost all the investigators are men while all but one victims are women. Clarice is not only a woman, but have ability to sympathize with the victims and keen understanding of human nature. I love her character, Jack Crawford, and their interactions.
