4.0 out of 5 stars AMERICAN VERSION OF PLAY DEAD!, 28 Aug 2008
By Ms. J. Cole "murdermosthorrid" (London,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book,although the beginning is a little weak.Unfortunately this is another occasion when Amazon don't think to tell you its the US edition of a UK publication, in this case 'Play Dead'.Its well written with great charactarisation, and the author certainly has some original ideas for murder methods!

4.0 out of 5 stars almost fooled again!, 29 Mar 2009
Thank goodness I checked the reviews about this book! I was about to order it and then discovered that it is 'Play dead' released under another title. This is so annoying and I wish publishers would stop doing it!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Exciting Page-Turner From Montanari!, 9 Dec 2008
By bobbewig (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
I've said it before and I'm saying it again having now read all seven of Richard Montanari's books: I am convinced that he is incapable of writing a bad book and he deserves to have a much wider reading audience. Montanari's writing style and interesting, well-developed characters will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next in the fourth book in the series featuring Detectives Byrne and Balzano. That being said, however, Badlands does not quite measure up to the first two excellent books in the series, The Rosary Girls and The Skin Gods, but it is better than Merciless. Putting these comparative comments aside, Badlands -- which has Byrne and Balzano working working a "cold case" involving the death of a runaway teen in the dangerous, desolate North Philly district dubbed the Badlands -- is filled with suspense and excitement, strong characterizations, very believable prose and several complex plot twists. The only factor that keeps me from giving Badlands a 5-star rating is that I found the ending to be somewhat predictable -- but let me reassure you that this is only a minor criticism, and one that I hope will not turn you away from considering reading a book that is a real page-turner.
