The story of a boy who grew up sexually abused by his own father. At the beginning, the police are shocked by a disturbing crime scene that’s eventually followed by numerous, equally-unsettling others. What’s the connection?

This read is definitely not for the faint of heart, though it was skillfully written and it succeeds to evoke various emotions in the reader; it’s disturbing but also tends to get emotional.

Within these pages there is a really interesting look into what makes a serial killer as we get to enter the mind of one through his perspective. Boy Interrupted is worth the read if you’re into police-procedurals that explore the way serial killers operate.

This book was difficult for me to get through, but for all the right reasons. It tackled uncomfortable themes, and the result was a powerful and gripping story. The characters were so well crafted that if you couldn't relate to one, you could at least understand and envision them, as they came to life in every sense of the word. The writting was so on point that it helped the reader navigate the complex story line, as well as care about the characters as you watched their development.

This book grips you from the very beginning and never lets go. Riveting, end of your seat detective novel. This book does have some very sensitive matter but the author does a good job of softening the blow for us.

Muncie, Indiana is the background to murders, sexual abuse and plenty of violence - but the author does a great job with all of this!

Fabulous twist at the end, and my only gripe is that, except for the boy, all the other characters could have been more developed?

Thanks to Net Galley for a chance to read and review.

Kenny was four years old when his father, a medical doctor started raping him. After that the father would invite other friends to come and have their way with his child.
Susan is a detective with a case she is deeply invested in. Several doctors have turned up murdered in the surrounding area. Not only dead but tortured, flayed, cut up. It's enough to make the investigators throw up. Who is doing the murders is what they need to find out and fast. The killing is escalating. Susan doesn't know that she will be an integral part of the killers psychotic spree. And it won't be as a detective.
A thriller written in a raw and detailed manner that is bound to set your stomach churning and your heart racing!

Wow. I felt this book on many levels. It was difficult to read. Makes for the pity and shocking of what had become.
A tough subject that makes you feel too many emotions. I just cannot unread what I read.
Thanks, NetGalley for the advance copy to review.
