Query: Brutal and disappointing

I'm a fan of his books, but I found this one very painful. I couldn't finish it. At a certain point, I skipped to the end to confirm that who I thought actually did it, actually did do it! I had the person pegged very early on. What's so painful about this particular book is the child abuse angle. I work with child sexual abuse victims and this is a very disturbing book to read through. I just couldn't stand it anymore, but I wanted to see how it would end. I liked the main characters (Paget and Terri) much more in the earlier works. I'd skip this one, if you're reading his books in sequence.
