Query: Awful, awful, awful. Did I mention this book is awful?

This is the worst book I have ever come across. The story is not compelling after the initial event, the characters are not likeable and the author is one sick puppy with a predilection for describing gruesome crime scenes in excruciating details involving skinning and evisceration, over and over. In between, we are treated to boring conversations, boring philosophical musing and boring soliloquy. I suffered through three fourths of this abomination and finally gave up. The reader was not great either but at least he pronounced all the Italian words correctly.
