The murder victims are all young girls between the ages of 9 and 11. Did the author handle the details with sensitivity, too graphically or somewhere in the middle?

Somewhere in the middle. There murders were described just enough for the reader to get the idea of the fear they must have felt, but without the graphic images.

Again, I agree, Melissa. Brennan gave us just enough to imagine the horrors inflicted on these children without taking it to extremes. It was enough for me. I thought she held back where it was possible.

Somewhere in the middle for me too. I really could not have taken anything graphic and I'm glad it wasn't written that way.

I think she had to write something of the horrors the girls experienced, but I'm glad it wasn't so graphic, too.

Normally I don't mind graphic details but I'm really glad the author didn't go too far with this one.
