As Grant reveals, harassment is about control, domination, and sometimes, brutal murder. There is a nice balance in this book between the psychological brutalization of the women in the story and the plot, which is strong enough to carry this load. Grant is a good writer and while I recommend this book to anyone interested in mystery fiction and our modern social problems, it is not light-weight escapist reading.
