First edition as new This mystery has the largest twist I've ever read in any book. It also has many lesser twists. All of this adds up to a terrific mystery. Of course, by the mid-point, a reader realizes that there has to be something new and unexpected. If such didn't come, one would scream fraud. But the twists did come and they were well worth the wait. I can honestly say I would recommend this work to anyone who wants an enjoyable and interesting read. This is the first Phillip Margolin book that I have read, and I'm hooked! While I picked this book in error, I was looking for true crime and this popped up because one of the characters in the book had written a true crime account within this novel. So, once I figured out it was fiction, I was well on my way into the book...it truly would have been a fascinating serial killer account. The novel opens at the home of Norman and Terri Spencer whose home has just been invaded by a monster...who is later revealed in the book. This monster kills Norman, and Tanya Jones, the best friend of his daughter, Ashley Spencer. Norman drags his dying body to his daughter and is able to free her from the duct tape that the murderer has bound her with, enabling her to escape while the murderer is downstairs eating a piece of cake and drinking a glass of milk...and that's just the beginning of the terror that Ashley lives through for years before the murderer or murderers are revealed... Secrets are revealed, and all is not as it seems... Honestly... I'm so very sick and tired of authors choosing narrators who know how to ruin a decent story. I listened to the Talking Books digital version.The elderly male character is said to have slurred speech because of a stroke. The narrator gave readers a high pitched, toothless lisp. REALLY????? Do you NOT know the difference between male slurring and a girly lisp???? Why do authors put up with shoddy narrating?? aucune critique | ajouter une critique
