5.0 out of 5 stars From the inside flap, April 29, 2005

Will an uncle's bequest mean her demise? Jane Madison's life is well ordered, uneventful, and utterly predictable, until she unexpectedly inherits a large Victorian house from a distant uncle, which she promptly converts to a boardinghouse for her homeless aunt and a few of her aunt's aging friends. But Jane's apparent good fortune proves to be only the first of several unexpected and rather unpleasant events, like murder. Because there's a sniper on the prowl, and though his targets at first seem random, it soon becomes clear that he is closing in on Jane and her guests, and she must race against time to solve a deadly puzzle, or risk becoming one of its permanently missing pieces.

This review is from: The Sniper (Hardcover)

After reading this book you'll be thinking it was the most suspenseful and spine tingling book you've ever read all year. The plot of this exciting book is that Janie and her mom and brother have just moved into a house with their aunt. Soon after, one murder occurs and then a second and then a third. The police think they are dealing with a sniper. When Janie gathered enough clues, she knows whom the sniper will go after next. Will she be able to save that person in time or will it be too late? Over this entire book was very good. The author Willo Davis Roberts did a very good job planning out this book. Willo Davis Roberts has written many mystery books for the past several years. Willo Davis Roberts has put in a lot of detail to make this book very interesting to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars The sniper game, April 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sniper (Hardcover)

This book was about a house that was given to Janie Madison, the main character of the book. Janie turned the house into an apartment to rent out to old people. A sniper was after all of the people in the house and wanted to kill them all.
I liked this book because it was twisted and it was hard to find out who the murderer was. I enjoyed reading this book because it is full of action such as when the sniper kills someone it tells how he is going to kill the person. This is a good book to read so read it today!
