A V Meegan Review,
By
This review is from: The Flyleaf Killer (Hardcover)
Gripping thriller with sufficient detail to picture the sequences and to relate to the settings. Slightly scary early on, to hold reader attention, but easy to put down and pick up again without loosing the plot or forgetting the characters.Neatly left open to an interpretation by the reader on whether the culprit was evil or ill, or both .... with a twist at the end that leaves even more room for reader interpretation. Because of the interesting sequences and feeling the reader is left with, it would certainly adapt to a TV 9 O'clock Drama or Short Serial as a 'will they catch the culprit?' thriller - so nicely contrasted with the many 'who done it?' themes.

The Flyleaf Killer,
By
This review is from: The Flyleaf Killer (Hardcover)
"The Flyleaf Killer" is a gripping psychological thriller with occult undertones. It's a real page turner - I read it in one session, starting in mid-evening and finishing at 1.30am. It's not a "who-dunnit" but a "why-did-he-do-it?" and a "will-he-get-away-with-it?"The story is gruesome and not for the squeamish. It is told from two viewpoints, that of the highly-intelligent killer, Robert Strudwick, a disturbed teenager who makes a pact with the manipulative vendor of the diabolical Book, and of the detective inspector who investigates his sadistic serial murders and falls unwittingly under his spell. The book rattles along at a fine pace and draws a good picture of its two protagonists. The plot catches the reader in its web and keeps him tangled there until the very last page - and maybe beyond. The author, William A Prater, is to be congratulated, for this is his first novel. I'm a great fan of the work of Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine, who often tells her tales through the eyes of a murderer, and whilst reading "The Flyleaf Killer" I had the same feelings of being an unwilling witness to the workings of a deranged but logical mind.

Definitely held my attention,
By BC-Cheshire (Cheshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Flyleaf Killer (Hardcover)
I was pleasantly surprised by this book - I really didn't want to put it down. I have read a lot of books much more stylishly written than this one, but few that have held my attention the way this one has. A good read.
