I respect that you find cursing objectionable and there are many books that would meet your standards. Reality is everyone doesn't speak like a Sunday school teacher, especially those in law enforcement and investigation.

You didn't mention if you found explicit sex objectionable.. or excessive violence. Bottom line ....if what an author writes offends, of course you should put it down and mark he or she off your list.(less)
