4.0 out of 5 stars Fiery madness, September 3, 2005

This review is from: Flashpoint (Mass Market Paperback)

Homicide Detective Sonora Blair is a single mother,raising two young children and coping with the strain of just being a Homicide Detective with its entree into the world of evil. Sometimes, the sheer horror of her job, much as she loves it, overwhelms her, leaving her with a burning ulcer and horrifying nightmares. A madwoman who looks frighteningly like Sonora, begins a reign of terror against men, tricking them into situations where she handcuffs them to the steering wheel of their cars, douses them with petrol and sets them alight. When the madwoman threatens the lives of her children, Sonora lives with the daily horror of leaving them to go to work and resorts to leaving them with her brother, but when her brother dies in the same violent way, Sonora is driven to the point of breakdown and the questioning of her choice of professions. While it's terrifying to think that this kind of evil madness exists, Lynn Hightower nevertheless writes a tight, fascinating crime story which keeps you reading, long after lights out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right at home, January 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Flashpoint (Mass Market Paperback)

Being from Southern Ohio, this book was like reading something about someone I knew. It was homey and the characters were easy to respond to and understand. The entire story flowed gracefully from one point to the next. Any one who can mention Ale 8 One in a novel is a readable author in my book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Specialist Blair nabs her perpetrator, July 16, 1998

By 

Dave Hatcher ([e-mail]) (Desert Hot Springs, Ca.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flashpoint (Mass Market Paperback)

Men getting burned alive in a car - a serial killer- is how things begins. Specialist Blair has things figured out and finds out who the perp is, just can't quite get her hands on the perp. Intriguing, exciting. Blair has her own ups & downs in this thing which adds to the excitement. Blair eventually gets her hands on this perp after losing someone close to her. This is the first book I have read by Hightower and I just may buy the other two she has written, There is never a boring moment in the whole book. I would encourage you to give this one a try, well written and flows well.
