Andrew Neiderman is the author of over 44 thrillers, including six of which have been translated onto film, including the big hit, 'The Devil's Advocate', a story in which he also wrote a libretto for the music-stage adaptation. One of his novels, Tender Loving Care, has been adapted into a CD-Rom interactive movie.
Andrew Neiderman became the ghostwriter for V.C. Andrews following her death in 1986. He was the screenwriter for Rain, a film based on a series of books under Andrews name. Between the novels written under her name and his own, he has published over 100 novels.
Has the hallmarks of a conspiracy thriller, but never really becomes as scary or as claustrophobic as you'd expect from the genre. The POV jumps between several characters, which also doesn't help to create an ambiance of paranoia.
Ends without a real climactic confrontation with the people responsible for all the torment.
should have been a short story, but maybe it was awesome in its time. It felt like an 80s book, not a 90s book, but I'm fussy like that. Nice story idea, I just think the story took too long to tell.
I did enjoy this novel because it is filled with "edge-of-your-seat" suspense. This novel is also a very exciting read from the first page until the very end.
