Angela, this has been a concern of mine and I have slowed way down reviewing any of the so-called thrillers that are abnormally gross. Most are of the psychological thriller type, but other mysteries and thrillers are also amping up the violence.
It's sad because I do enjoy a good mystery, but it seems to be a sign of the times. Even some of the best selling mystery writers are also increasing the violence.
From about the beginning of March, you will no longer find reviews to these novels on this thread.
What do the rest of you think?
