Title: DeMille is a shadow of his former self.
Product review: Nelson DeMille began his career with a series of terriffic, riveting novels. "Gold Coast" remains amongst my top 5 books of all time. Other novels like "Charm School" and "Cathedral" were riveting page turners.But in his last few novels, DeMille has become lazy. "Night Fall" is by far the worst of these and is a massive disappointment to this former fan. In the liner notes, DeMille even credits his son for coming up with the (terrible) ending when he had "written himself into a corner". After reading the book, it's clear why he needed help. There is no structure. No suspense, save for the single question as to what really happened to the downed plane, which is never answered.Mr. DeMille, I have great respect for you as a writer. Your early works were engaging, well-plotted, and respectful of the reader - who you always managed to stay a step ahead. As a former fan, I'd love to see you take us and your work seriously again.
