| Reviews "Master of the nail-bitter genre, Christine Spindler leads her readers on a merry, one-of-a-kind chase after a killer who preys on his victims' own helpless phobias. If you like a mystery that will keep you guessing--with your heart lodged firmly in your throat!--you'll love Faces of Fear." Bestselling Author Karen Wiesner Spindler's depiction of the mind of the phobia sufferer is brilliant, and the view from the outside, as seen from the so-called normal viewpoint, is equally veridical. A great many readers will love this book: the people who devour Stephen King. Dr. Bob Rich, Ph. D., author of "Sleeper, Awake" Christine Spindler's excellent story telling skills bring this murder mystery her signature crisp style and fast paced plot. Her daring homosexual detective makes for terrific reading, as does her obvious understanding of phobias. Cindy Penn, Wordweaving The several separate strands of the narrative are ingeniously woven together to form a gripping account which will hold the reader's interest from start to finish. Molly Martin Anyone fortunate enough to have met Rick Terry in "The Rhythm of Revenge" will find him even more endearing in this second novel in the series. An intuitive, compassionate man who has loved and lost, Rick also has a fine brain whose agility is perhaps better displayed in this novel than in the first. Ilene Sirocca, freelance reviewer Once Inspector Terry gets on the case he solves it in his own special way, through his sensitive bedside manner which gets the witnesses to open up, as well as through his gut instinct. The ending, while unexpected, is thoroughly satisfying. A real page turner. Emma Kaufmann, Allreaders This is a very haunting British police procedural because even the killers are victims. FACES OF FEAR is a well written psychological drama driven by strong characterizations. There are many subplots, but all seem necessary and seamlessly tie back to the main story line. Christine Spindler shows her remarkable story telling abilities as she spins a web that catches the audience from the start of this strong novel. Harriet Klausner, Bookbrowser |
