5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting, July 20, 2001

By 

shannon (Houston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Lake of the Moon (Paperback)

This is an exceptional novel. The writing is amazing, the story grips you from start to finish. Lindsey does an excellent job of capturing the feel of Mexico City. Its uniqueness transcends the novel. Mexico City is the star here, her allure remains long after her beauty has faded. Stuart Haydon is Lindsey's best protagonist and he is at the top of his game here. Be forewarned this book is not for the squeemish, but none of Lindsey's books are. If you are someone who enjoys great writing and riveting suspense you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lindsey a master of character development and of the complex, October 25, 1999

Previous reviewer lucas (uk) needs to read more often. This is an involving and satisfying read and as with all of Lindsey's works the reader gains a real feel for the characters and for the complexities of human situations...if you're willing to take the time to get involved with the lives you're being introduced to. Am really looking forward to his newest...The Color of Night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet another engaging psychological thriller from Lindsey., April 27, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Lake of the Moon (Paperback)

"[T]he reality is that we can never really penetrate the truth of why some men do the strange things that they do. We can only view such men with pity and compassion, and remind ourselves that none of us are exempt from error, sometimes serious error, from playing the fool. When you look at these men try to temper your judgment with humility, with a modest nod to your own ignorance of the uncertain ways of the heart."

These words, advice long ago offered by Haydon's father, highlight, perhaps, the considered, insightful, and thoughtful prose consistenly delivered by Lindsey. In this intricate, delicately written novel, the author grants the reader a rare glimpse of Haydon's family history, as shocking and unexpected as it turns out to be.

Whether familiar with or new to Haydon, the reader will doubtless be engaged by Lindsey's tale
