Forget any bad review, this is a great thriller, perfect for the summer.

A must for readers who want a suspense novel that grabs you from the first chapter and doesn't let go until the last page. Hidden Charges is one more reason I remain a Ridley Pearson fan.

Don't waste your money. In fact, don't waste your time reading the rest of this review. The book's not worth it.

The plot is so thinly strung across the books' 350+ pages that you keep forgetting what it's about.

There are so many characters introduced that have nothing to do with the plot that I had to keep reminding myself that the book was not supposed to be about tight bodies and the incredibly boring details of how a shopping mall is run.

The formula: a collection of high school dating cliches, a look at mall life through the eyes of a security guard (the big news here is that they get sore feet) and a lecture about how union laborers are lazy and how security guards are smarter than "real" cops.

Oops, I forgot to mention: someone wants to blow up the mall. I guess it's because this fact gets lost in pages about thawing fish and changing your dress three times for a date.

The only mystery here is why this was published.

All of his books are real page turners and this one is no exception. I have now read every book he has written and they have all held my attention....sometimes into the the wee morning hours!!! I highly recommend him to anyone who enjoys a good mystery or who-done-it that keeps you guessing to the last page.
