5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Thiller, July 3, 2000

By 

Kim K. (Bayonne, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Precipice (Paperback)

Having already read Tom Savage's previous books, Valentine & The Inheritance, I picked this up recently and from the first page was capitivated by this mystery that takes place in St. Thomas, VI. Tom Savage develops his characters very well and this is the kind of book you have a hard time putting down for long. If you like intriguing, fast moving suspense, Precipice is the book for you. Why this was never turned into a movie is beyond me, it has all the right ingredients. Very highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better page turners out there, March 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Precipice (Paperback)

This is by far one of the better "page turners" among the latest crop of psychological thrillers being churned out and published. All the characters (even seemingly minor characters like Trish Manning, the best friend, and Kyle, the ship's mate) play an integral part in this devilishly concocted revenge story. It's more in the vein of the fair play murder mystery with several puzzle elements that will interest readers who like trying to guess whodunnit-- and more fitting for this novel -- why-they-dunnit. I look forward to reading Savage's latest, The Inheritance, due out in the Summer 1998. He certainly writes a great yarn and I envy thriller writers who write real thrillers with clever plots, mounting suspense and a just the right amount of wit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Check out "Dance of the Mongoose" by Savage under a pen name, August 8, 1995

By A Customer

This review is from: Precipice (Paperback)

Precipice was Savage's first book in print, but not the first book he wrote. "Dance of the Mongoose" has some eerie and fascinating similarities. Not as good, but a neat peak behind this writer's curtain (and not at all bad, either). "Dance" is written under a pen name because his publisher wants the "Savage" name to be associated with thrillers, and it's a mystery. However, you can get an idea how Tom's mind works from the fact that the hero of "Dance" is named "Joe Wilder."
