A Kiss Before Dying (Jove / HBJ Book)

Rating:
Summary: An amazingly good thriller
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. The characters are very real, and the description is better than if watching a movie. This book, as with all of Mr.Levin's classics, is a work of art

Summary: A Hitchcock Movie in Words
Review: This is one of the most suspenseful, most enjoyable books I've ever read. How tired I was on 3 workday mornings because I'd stayed up late reading this book, unable to put it down - only 3 mornings because I read it all in 4 evenings. This book is too good to give away any of the plot. Reading it, I felt I was watching one of Hitchock's best movies playing in my brain. There's a point about 1/3 through the book where I stopped dumbfounded and said to myself "no way - that can't be", and then thumbed through the pages I'd just read to confirm it *was* true. An absolutely ingenious element left me feeling like I was starting from the beginning after reading 1/3 of the book. There are many other twists and surprises in this story, too, and the subject matter is surprisingly contemporary.

I can't imagine anyone not loving this book.
