Rating:  Summary: I kept thinking it would get better. Review: This book is 406 pages long--4 pages of action, 200 pages of pointless speculation by police investigators, 200 pages of rambling family relationship problems, and 2 pages describing Decker's headaches and what he did or didn't eat. I did enjoy the dynamics between Rina Lazarus and Bram, the Catholic priest.
Rating:  Summary: Great book Review: This is my first Faye Kellerman novel, and it definetly will not be my last. This book was very deceptive in how played out the storyline. I was completely thrown by at the end. Prayers had great character interaction, and a real good mystery element.
Rating:  Summary: My Opinion of Prayers for the Dead Review: This is one of the best books I have read so far, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have recently discovered the works of both Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, two excellent authors. Prayers for the Dead is an intriguing book, and I couldn't put it down. The characters were so human you almost felt as if you knew them personally, especially the Sparks family. The plot takes some wonderful twists and turns, and it is apparent that Faye has done her homework in regards to religious history. This is a fabulous book and I would recommend it to anyone to read. You definitely will not be disappointed, especially if you are a fan of horror/medical fiction. I am an avid reader of John Saul, Andrew Neiderman, V. C. Andrews, Stephen King, and others and Mrs. Kellerman is definitely in the same caliber as these beloved authors of mine. After reading this book, your literary appetite will be longing for more of Faye's masterpieces!

Rating:  Summary: Not as Good as Jonathan Kellerman Review: This is the first Faye Kellerman book that I read. The mystery and characters were really terrific. It would have been better if story remained about the suspects and the research. I feel it should have been centered in these areas and take out the religious comparisons. I feel it should have been left as Azor Sparks being a religious man who prays with all his patients before their transplant surgery. The Christian and Jewish religions didn't have to be discussed in such depth.
Rating:  Summary: Not as Good as Jonathan Kellerman Review: This is the first Faye Kellerman novel that I have read. I enjoy her husband's books very much, so I gave her a try. The story seemed to take quite awhile to get going. At first the character development was not the pace I enjoy, but I'm very glad I continued the book. I wound up enjoying her characters, the plot twists, pretty much everything about it. It even piqued my curiosity about Judaism more so than I have ever been. Thumbs up, my dear. I am definitely buying more of this series.
