I used to adore John Grisham novels. His first books: A Time to Kill, The Firm, The Pelican Brief, and The Client — were exciting, enthralling novels. Grisham’s experience in law gave him the background to write legal thrillers, and his personal talent made them good ones. Over the …

“Daughter of Hounds” by Caitlin R. Kiernan is a novel that gnaws at you, stripping the protective layers away until its teeth reach the soft, unprotected parts within. At times literary but more often profane, the book batters the reader with its intense language and pitch-black theme.
