5.0 out of 5 stars Taut suspense story: very well written, April 23, 2003

john c. (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Four Last Things (Roth Trilogy) (Paperback)

Almost a horror story, this novel is highlighted by interesting characters and a plot that gradually tightens the pressure on the characters and the reader. Along with Breakheart Hill and Void Moon this is the finest mystery/suspense novel of the last decade. A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mesmerizing trip into the weird and macabre, March 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Four Last Things (Roth Trilogy) (Paperback)

This book is not for the faint of heart, especially if you read the text closely. The villain in this work could easily be the Marques de Sade's sister. The characterizations in this work are unusually rich and complex for a suspense novel. Also, the writing easily surpasses almost everything I've read in the mystery/suspense genre. This book takes risks and succeeds magnificently. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Disturbing Story, April 17, 2003

Wayne (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Four Last Things (Roth Trilogy) (Paperback)

I enjoyed reading this novel. It is not really a police procedural as the police play a small role. Nor is it really a mystery as we know quite early on who has commited the crine . Some people might find the story disturbing as it deals with crimes against children. The author is a very good writer and there is an atmosphere of menace through the book. The story jumps back and forth between the phsycopaths who have kidnapped a child and the distraught parents.Frankly I thought the parents considering there child has been stolen seemed to decend into self pity and I found the criminals to be more interesting.Anyway the book was quite good and I would reccomend it.
