Advertising director Charles Schine is just another New York commuter, regularly catching the 8.43 to work. But the day he misses his train is the day that changes his life. Catching the 9.05 instead, he can't help but be drawn by the sight of the person opposite. Charles has never cheated on his wife in eighteen years of marriage. But then Charles has never met anyone like Lucinda Harris before. Charming, beautiful and a seductively good listener, Charles finds himself instantly attracted. And though Lucinda is married too, it is immediately apparent that the feeling is mutual. Their journeys into work become lunch dates, which become cocktails and eventually lead to a rented room in a seedy hotel. They both know the risks they are taking, but not in their worst nightmares could they foresee what is to follow. Suddenly their temptation turns horrifically sour, and their illicit liaison becomes caught up in something bigger, more dangerous, more brutally violent. Unable to talk to his partner or the police, Charles finds himself trapped in a world of dark conspiracy and psychological games. Somehow he's got to find a way to fight back, or his entire life will be spectacularly derailed for good.

Suspenseful Page Turner,
By Jessica Tate (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Derailed (Hardcover)
Derailed by James Siegel was an intense page turner that I found myself unable to put down. The story starts off with a bang and continues until the very last page. Charles starts off as an unlikeable character when he ponders adultery with a woman, Lucinda, that he meets on the train when commuting to work one morning. Personally, when a character is unlikeable, I have a hard time continuing but Siegel does a good job of keeping my interest. Charles eventually possesses some redeeming qualities, especially when his focus is on his family and their well being.
There are some twists and turns in the story, and an unexpected change of events later on that you will have to read for yourself! I tend to be very picky with the types of books I read and when I find a book that I have a hard time putting down, it says something! Great read, I recommend this to everyone!

Derailed, James Jiegel,
This review is from: Derailed (Hardcover)
I wanted this book for one of the nurses at my dad's nursing home. I had given away my copy and was worried that this might arrive in too "used" condition. That was no problem - the book is in excellent condition and my nurse friend is enjoying it immensely! Thanks.
