Title: If this is typical of DeMille's work...
Review: I began this book with great hopes, but was very disappointed. First of all, I found John Corey tedious, with his constant wise cracks and gods-gift-to-women behavior. I kept waiting for the "mind twisting suspense" to happen, but it never did. The story line was weak, with Corey deciding who the murderer was in the middle of the book, and then we just get to watch him act out his revenge, without any real proof or justification till almost the end. I guess we're just all expected to cheer for Corey, but he's so obnoxious and so vicious, that I found myself hoping he was wrong! Nothing is "hair-raising", except his sadistic behavoir towards the murderer. I seriously doubt that I'll waste money on any of DeMille's other books.
