“In most crime novels the violent act, usually the murder, is the engine. Take that away and there is little left to drive the story along. So I do get a little cross with authors who aren’t precise about the violence they’re using to create tension because I feel they’re being dishonest with their readers. If people don’t like the blood and violence in my books, fine, they can always close the cover and put it aside and maybe read a romance instead."

That'll be why I don't read her. I've read plenty of crime novels which are great and don't turn my gut. It's the mystery I like and the hunt (by the good guys). The crime might even be off the page.
