Oh, man, that's harsh

[elfs]

One of my guilty pleasures is The Digested Read, by John Crace. It's basically the nastiest book review on the planet, done as a summarization. This week's victim is The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen and, dude, Crace is not entertained by anything more than his nastiness:

"Maybe falling in love with Father Daniel the unavailable Catholic priest will give me some emotional depth," she thought. Just then her phone rang.

"I've got another hideous murder scene for you," said Detective Jane Rizzoli. "By the way, my parents have just decided to get separated and I'm still tormented by the killer we caught in the last book. Does this make me any more interesting or sympathetic?"

"Not really."

Ouch! Read the rest.
