A Thousand Cuts by Simon Lelic

Reading Level: Adult

This is one I haven't had a chance to read yet but I would like to when I get a chance. The saying, So many books, So little time, is so true.

Taken from the book jacket:

"It should have been an open and shut case." A recently hired history teacher, Samuel Szajkowski, walks into a school assembly with a gun and murders three students and a colleague before turning the weapon on himself. It seems clear that Szajkowski was psychopath beyond help, yet as Detective Inspector Lucia May begins to investigate it doesn't seem so open and shut any more. No one seems interested in the truth just in closing the case quickly. As the pressure to close the case builds and her colleagues' sexism takes a sinister turn, Lucia begins to realize she has more in common with the killer than she could have imagined, and becomes determined to expose the truth.
