Query: Reads like a shallow screenplay

A good ol' boy sheriff and his trusty young sidekick are on the trail of an unknown psychopath who mutilates his victims in unspeakable ways. Sound familiar? While gore fans [sic] may appreciate the author's detailed descriptions of how the victims (gorgeous young women, of course) are chopped up and discarded, I just felt sick. There are some thoughtful characterizations, an all-action climax and a even a final plot twist. But the book ultimately reads like a shallow screenplay, begging to go to Hollywood and land the easy big bucks seemingly available to anyone prepared to plumb the serial killer depths.
