4.0 out of 5 stars A great summer read, 2 Aug 2003

By	Joseph Pooler (Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Heat of the Summer: AND The Shadow Man (Paperback)

Both In the Heat of Summer and The Shadow Man are impressive thrillers and katzenbach uses his literary prowess to build tension throughout the books making them genuine page turners. I would definitely rate the Shadow Man as the better book with the background of the holocaust used to create a touching yet violent background to build pivotal characters. Heat of summer is a little too contrived to be rated as highly. The plot revolves around a journalist which is intrigueing and a good premise for a thriller but is too reliant on examining the role and ethics of journalism to create likeable characters. I would heavily recommend both books though especially as an introduction to the skill of john katzenbach.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read thats captivating all teh way, 5 April 2001

By	darkangel2000@btinternet.com (UK) - See all my reviews

A great insight into the mind of a journalist through his obsession with a killer. This book is well worth a read and keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way to the gripping finale.

3.0 out of 5 stars Promising premise, doesn't quite fully deliver........, 19 Dec 2007

By	Dino Amore' "nova2000_uk" (Hadleigh, Essex) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Heat of the Summer (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book to be in the main very enjoyable, and there were parts of it I found difficult to put down. Ultimately, though, I found the whole experience slightly unsatisfying - I especially was very underwhelmed by the ending.
The premise was excellent, as was seeing the tale unfold through the eyes of a newspaper hack, but I felt it would have improved the book to have amped up the role of the city of Miami. In the movie adaptation, they make the impending hurricane a character in its own right, it dominates the background, but in the book it has fleeting mentions only, and completely misses Miami.
They are minor grumbles, but still relevant.
Its worth a read, but has faults.
