Reviews

[Robert · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fatal Attraction has the same title as the infamous Michael Douglas/Glenn Close film from 1988. Though it's also a suspense thriller, it has a completely different storyline, which involves a mad rapist stalking a town, and a fractured family that gets caught up in the case. It's an entertaining, occasionally surprising tale, but nowhere near as good as the author's far superior, highly recommended 1978 psychological thriller Blood Secrets, which Valancourt Books recently reissued.

The ending was super weird.

Without going into too much detail, I really enjoyed this book, but was not a fan of how it ended.
