In the Shadow of Evil : The Handkerchief

Rating:
Summary: STILL the same..
Review: In the fourth installment, John Saul still tells the same story as in the first three parts. Someone receives a gift - and dies. The only thing which makes this part a little better is that only now some people in Blackstone begin to notice that something is happening. So, the story advances a little bit - but JUST a little bit..

Summary: Exceptional, thrilling!
Review: John Saul's The Blackstone Chronicles keep getting better and better. Part 4, In The Shadow of Evil: The Handkerchief was great. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good mystery. I can't wait for Part 5

Summary: The tension builds...
Review: This is the point in the Chronicles when the town of Blackstone is no longer a normal New England town. The citizens are beginning to worry, and I can clearly see the plot thickening and the climax beginning in this book. This is a good thing after reading the three extremely repititive tales that came before this one. This installment easily proves that the next chronicle will be more suspenseful than the last.

Summary: Part 4 in The Blackstone Chronicles
Review: Three suicides have occurred so far in The Blackstone Chronicles, leading up to a possible fourth--or more (you'll just have to read it to find out)--in "In the Shadow of Evil: The Handkerchief." After Rebecca Morrison's aunt died in the previous book, "Ashes to Ashes: The Dragon's Flame" (#3), she's left in the care of her demanding employer, Germaine Wagner, and her even more demanding, wheelchair-bound mother. When Oliver Metcalf, a newspaper editor who has feelings for Rebecca, gives her a present--an 'R'-initialed handkerchief--something horrible begins to happen in the Wagner home. The climax, not to sound morbid, is one of my favorite death endings among the six parts; and the story itself ends on quite a cliffhanger for Rebecca. It'll certainly have readers eager to read the next part: "Day of Reckoning: The Stereoscope" (#5).

Summary: This is like a roller coaster ride!
Review: What fun this series is. This book, though similar in structure to the earlier ones, is different enough to keep me happily reading. A quick read where I'm totally into it!
