2.0 out of 5 stars
Well written, terrible plot,
By Tim Krause "Tim" (Biron, WI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark Specter: Signed Edition (Hardcover)
Dibdin is an excellent writer and his prose is even stronger in a genre (crime writing) not normally known for that quality. I'd almost recommend reading Dark Specter for that reason alone because there aren't any other reasons to read it.
The plot, on the other hand, is contrived and more often than not predictable. Dibdin does a pathetic job convincing his reader of a number of unlikely coincidences that allow him to take an eery tale of cults in modern-day society and wrap everything up in a tidy Hollywood ending. Where the last line of the book should be one of the creepiest you've ever read, it's as unlikely and unbelievable as the rest of the novel because a number of key characters remain underdeveloped. Skip this one. |
