Couldn't put it down!,
This review is from: Bad Karma (Mass Market Paperback)
Clegg wrote an out of the park homerun when he wrote his book.I read over half of the book in one sitting, it's that good. Honestly, make sure you have the time to spend with this book, you won't want to put it down either.As our story opens, Trey Campbell is on a vacation. He works at Darden State Hospital. One woman (Agnes Hatcher) who is a "guest" at Darden feels that Trey is her one true love, and wants to be with him. Even if it means that she will kill his family and anyone who gets in her way. She does escapes (and does a horrible thing to a nurse) and begins her quest. I can't give away to much, but trust me, this book is fantastic. The climax is a real page turner. I last sentence of the book really hit home for me. I wish I could tell you more, but I dont' want to ruin this wonderful novel. If you buy this book (and you should) I promise you two things. 1) You will have a hard time putting it down and 2) Before you go to bed, you will want to check your windows and doors to make sure they'er locked.

A Brutal Thriller,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bad Karma (Mass Market Paperback)
if you liked Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon, you're going to really love BAD KARMA by Andrew Harper. This book kept me up reading until it was nearly morning and this is tough to do since I have no problem putting most books down. The author Andrew Harper wastes no words or time getting the action going and upping the suspense at every turn. BAD KARMA is one of the freshest and truly terrifying thrillers I've read in years and Agnes Hatcher is one of the best murderesses I've ever found in literature.See what you think. I really enjoyed this book. Ellie Lassiter

This review is from: Bad Karma (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not telling tales out of school by saying that Harper is Clegg...it's on the copyright page. That said, let's start.BAD KARMA is Doug Clegg Lite. It's primarily character-driven and paces like a shark cruising the bay for a human snack. It's a tale of Trey Campbell, a psychiatrist for the criminally insane. It also "stars" Agnes Hatcher, the female Hanibal Lecter of the hospital. Trey is on vacation when, during a very spooky and effective scene, Agnes escapes...and goes looking for Trey to right a wrong that Agnes believes was done to her over 100 years ago. Follow me so far? Trey is on a California island called Catalina with his family and Agnes comes out to spoil it...forever! Anything else about the plot is pure spoiler. I liked this novel quite a bit...but if you LOVE Clegg, take this one with a grain of salt. When I think of Clegg's novels like GOAT DANCE, NEVERLAND, THE CHILDREN'S HOUR and DARK OF THE EYE, I think about well-written deep characterizations, subplots above subplots and scenes of terror and, occasionally, eye grabbing gore. Harper is into fast moving scenes, a character introduction that's brief enough so you can follow along and heart-stopping action. It may not be the most original novel ever written, but it's well written and fun. It's a slim novel that will be able to be read in one or two sittings and well worth the time...until the new Clegg novel, THE HALLOWEEN MAN, hits stores in late `98. Recommended for Clegg fans and fans of high-paced non-thinking action.
