Blown out May 8, 2008

An early attempt at fiction writing by Ms Gerritsen and it shows. This very short flacid book has been repackaged by the publishers to fool the public into believing it's a new work. The characters are lightweight, flawed and the plot improbable. The typeface has been enlarged to give the book some bulk. You can read it at arm's length - which is about the right distance to keep away from this offering.

Total waste of money May 3, 2008
I usually enjoy Tess Gerritsen's books but his one was a total waste of time. The characters were rather dull and the plot was so predictable...I felt that I had read several books with very similar (and not very thrilling) plots. In the end I skimmed towards the anticipated ending in order to avoid time wasting. I hope that her next offering is an improvement .

Very average April 25, 2008
Not that well written, and Gerritsen's style has improved in the intervening years. Very shallow, and full of so many cliches - like the hero and heroine never thinking they'd see each other again about a dozen times in the book. Moves fast, but extremely routine thriller.

One of My Favourite Suspense Writers September 6, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

Tess Gerritsen left a successful medical practice to bring up her children and concentrate on her writing. She lives in Maine, with her family. There has been some confusion with one or two of her earlier books being re-issued and they seem to be more for the Mills and Boon market (nothing wrong with that), but they are not the type of books that reader's of her current offerings have come to expect from her.

This is one of the books that Tess Gerritsen has become famous for, a suspense thriller. She is definitely up there with the best of them when she writes this type of novel. This particular book was written in 1992, so it is among her earlier writing, but is still well worth reading.

Cathy Weaver has dug a hole for herself and now she is wondering if she can get out of it. As She was driving along a man emerged from the mist, right in front of her car. If that was not a big enough shock the man Victor Holland tells her that he is running away from killers who are closing in on him. His story sounds like the ravings of a mad man, but the frightened look in his eyes and more importantly the bullet hole in his shoulder confirm that he is running away from something.

As each hour brings the pursuers closeer, Cathy begins to wonder if she is giving her trust to a man in danger or trusting her life to a dangerous man? Either way she is in for a rough ride.

Would you pick up a stranger?Cathy had no choice,Victor was a hunted man desperate for help.Having her best friend murdered put Cathy in danger,with only three Cathy Weaver's in the phone book ,was she listed and would they find her before she had a chance to help Victor blow the whistle on why their lives were in danger?Would and could she trust this man,this stranger with her life?rivetting from beginning to end,will Cathy make it?
