Query: day of the dead

I love mysteries and read an excerpt from one of J. A. Jance's books 'Death of a Snowbird' in book that I had purchased. It sounded good and I couldn't find it so I purchased this one. I'm very disappointed in this book. Way too graphic...I felt like I was reading a nasty porno murder. I don't know what other's expected but I expected a really good mystery. This isn't what I experienced. A good mystery doesn't need to be this graphic. I stopped reading it at 117 pages and at this time realized that I could never recommend it to anyone I know. Sorry, but it doesn't live up to the truly great authors like Ellis Peters and Tonly Hillerman.
