Format:Paperback
I love the sense of humour of John Case. He has mastered the art of building the suspense, releasing you with a hilarious comment (you WILL laugh out loud at times), then building the suspense again until shocking you with something completely unforeseen. This was a technique film director Alfred Hitchcock excelled at.
In the Eighth Day the hero is a 26 year old artist and part time investigator. He gets a case that takes him to Italy and Turkey in a story peppered with murders. A must if you enjoy thrillers.

This is a very good thriller and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The plot is fast-moving and well constructed. I felt a lot of sympathy for the main character, Danny Cray, because he is not the typical hero, in fact he is what you might call an anti-hero. He often lacks self-confidence, he is a hesitating if clumsy man and so the identification reader-hero is all the more easy. I would compare Danny Cray to Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock's "North By Northwest".

John Case is on my list of "auto-buy"
The stage is quite small, and there is not so much of an "epic" feel to it. Rather the action and suspense is held in close focus.
Very interesting read. Read more

...and that's one star too many
"John Case" is a husband and wife team - maybe if one or the other had written this book it may have had more fluency. Read more
