Title: a sequel with room for improvement
Product review: After awaiting publication of this novel, I was disappointed to find it was not a sequel to last summer's "The Beach House." The text had too many juvenalities written into it, and the character of Ethan Kane was watered down; he could have given the reader a greater sense of fear. The ending was so sketchy and botched up that a wet band-aid would have held better. But the finale leaves greater room for a sequel than "When The Wind Blows," did, which may tie up the loose ends to this novel. I only hope that the next Alex Cross novel, "The Big Bad Wolf,"(Nov. 2003) and the new womens murder club novel, 3rd Degree (Mar. 2004) are much better.
