The Circle of Blood by Alane Ferguson

3.0

I think I would've loved it if I had read this in...I don't know, intermediate. But after being bombarded by so many crime tv shows, this doesn't really stand out that much. Although I do have to give some credit to Alane Ferguson for doing her homework and research properly to make the procedures look real and authentic, conveying a sense of verisimilitude which must have been hard to achieve when talking about such morbid, grotesque things like cutting a head open. The autopsy scenes were very well done, I have to give her that, creating a mix of abject horror and scientific detachment. The ending did however feel rushed and the process of coming to her epiphany somewhat simplified, but the sense of disappointment was mitigated when the ending revealed a much anticipated cliffhanger that totally creeped me out. So. Good job :)
