Summary: Great start, predictible ending
Review: This novel had a great start, but then everything suddenly became predictible. This book is more Grisham than King
Rating: 
Summary: Story revolves around only three characters
Review: This novel was just average and it took me forever to get excited about it. I finally started enjoying the last 100 pages. This novel has only three main characters and the plot is pretty straight forward. You have the lawyer and family being harassed by the Intruder and the handyman/mobster who comes to the aid of the lawyer. If you think you know the ending halfway through the book, you are probably right. If you like to read a lot of books, I recommend this one as a change of pace. I did buy Man of the Hour by the same author so I liked Intruder enough to read the same author. If you are choosy about your books, then skip this one.

Summary: Pretty good and very entertaining
Review: This was a really good story, and it went in unexpected directions. It's great to read a book and be unable to predict the next twist. Peter Blauner did his research and created a believable and realistic drug-dependent homeless man. The ending was hard to believe, with the Schiff family banding together like that, but ... This was a very good read.

Soon, he finds himself unemployed and on the streets. He meets Dana Schiff, a psychiatric social worker and he's convinced that Dana is really his exwife. Soon John G. begins to stalk her family. Jake, her husband and also a lawyer, decides to take matters into his own hands to protect his family. Unfortunately, the decision he makes, could cost him his life.

Summary: VERY REALISTIC AND TOUGH.
Review: Very satisfying novel. Has a gutter view of city social problems. I was fascinated by the "red and yellow topped crack vials by a flower bed" prose. Highly recommended author.
Rating:
Summary: A thriller worthy of Hitchcock
Review: What makes this book so good is that the characters are so well drawn. We hate a very human bad guy, and root for very flawed, very human good guys. Blauner creates a real nail biter of a thriller that has you hoping and guessing down to the final, and bitterly hopeful, pages.
