A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

I'd say overall this was a very good book. I thought i would have liked it more though since it cover topics from my major.... but overall i found it just ok. I think my main issue was that i found the story disjointed and didn't see what the first half of the book had to do with the main idea....not that I ever caught the main purpose. It sort of seemed like a meandering story of someones life and not really plot driven. With that being said though, I really love the glimpses into Grace's life. I think she is an interesting character. Towards the end, we did see some circling back and a bit of closure regarding the first half, so i guess that's good.

The best thing about the book was the writing style. The author was great at making the characters come alive as well as making us see and feel the scene. With a book like this, vivid writing is needed and the author definitely delivered. I prefer plot-driven, fast-paced stories so i think others will probably enjoy this story more that me. I hope i don't scare anyone off...i guess i was expecting something different. I recommend it to anyone who likes psychology type stuff as well as murder mysteries.
