Query: Excess Gratuitous Violence

I never thought I'd run across a suspense thriller that contained too much gratuitous violence. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prude. I like a good shoot-em-up as well as the next guy. It's OK to have the villan kill one or two victims if that adds to the plot. That isn't the case here. Our villian kills and kills and kills and kills and it has nothing to do with the larger scheme of things. Just random killings.This killing spree wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't described each one in excruciatingly disgusting detail. I've read horror books with less gore.Even without the gore I'd only rate this book about a 3 because it is so predictable. Good girl had troubles. Good guy helps good girl. Good guy gets Bad guy. Good guy falls in love with good girl. They live happily ever after. So predictable that nothing is very exciting.
