This review is from: The Thing At The Door (Hardcover)
You know how people say, "Stop me if you've heard this one before."? Henry Slesar's "The Thing At The Door" should have on the first page "Stop! You've already read this before." I read the novel in a Detective Book Club reprint -- the DBC selection committee must have had an off day.Very rich heiress approaching 21st birthday when she will get control of the dough (Sound familiar?). She hears mysterious noises. (A) Is she really going crazy; or (B) are the trustees trying to get her declared insane so that they can keep control of the money; or (C) are some scheming relatives setting her up death? (Sound even more familiar?) [You know some day I'd like to see a writer choose option A but rest assured that's not the case here.] The rest of the story is predictable. Characters are typical of the gothic-suspense-romance genre. The damsel in distress is about half a notch brighter than the typical Mignon Eberhart birdbrain, and the villian isn't half bad. |
