This review is from: The Killer's Cousin (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book. It tells the story of David Yaffe, after being auquitted of murdering his girlfriend he moves to his aunt and uncle's house. He immeaditally finds out that his aunt dosen't have a liking for him, and his cousin is very intrested in what it felt like to kill someone. This book is full of suspence and mystery. There's a twist in there that I surely did not see coming up! If you like to read, read this book, it's very good!

This review is from: The Killer's Cousin (Hardcover)

"The Killer's Cousin" was a great book. It was about a young man, David Yaffe, who was recently acquitted for the murder of his girlfriend and now he is suspicious of his little cousin, Lily, who goes through his things and will not stop talking about how he felt when it happened to him. I recommend every one to read this book.

This review is from: The Killer's Cousin (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of my favorite books in the world (though I haven't seen it in about four months cause I lent it to a so-called "friend" who promises to return it "any day now", argh). The thing I like best is the characters. David was so real to me, afraid of himself, lonely, guilty. Frank was probably my favorite character in the book. He reminds me of certain friends of mine. At first I really disliked Lily -- she seemed like a demon-child -- but after I realized what had happened I felt sorry for her. The only part of the book that I didn't like was Kathy's ghost. I didn't think that belonged in an otherwise realistic story, though it was through Kathy that David realized what Lily had done. All in all, a great book which I'd recommend to anyone who likes suspense novels.
