Summary: Filmmakers....wake up! Iris did a great job for you!
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Reading this book is like watching an A-movie... Lot's of action, not a 'helpless' women who cannot think of her own, strong characters! And, for Iris (if she reads this): thank you for the love scene! Great! (It could have been longer though) This kind of interaction between sexes is what most lacks in thrillers, and I think that's just a natural thing what happens if a man and women are living so closely together under though conditions like Bess and Kaldak. Most other thriller-writers don't understand that or don't wan't to. I have understood that more of your books are like this one, so I will read them all. And, please, let somebody make a movie based on this book!

Summary: It was great!
Review: I thought that this novel was one of the author's better books and read every last page. I can't wait until I get to read another one of her books!

Summary: Annoying, Annoying, Annoying!
Review: Although, the plot was very good and well thought out. The characters were extremely annoying! Especially Bess! I found her to be extremely stubborn! It seemed like the author was trying to make her appear to be independent and strong, but she didn't come off like that. I found myself wishing that she would die, and the person to do it would be Kaldak! I also found the love scene between them to be really brief and not well thought out at all! It seemed sloppy and it seemed like the author just threw it in there after the final revision. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone!

Summary: As ALL of her books are it was wonderful.
Review: I have read all of Johansen's books including her newest The Killing Game and I am never able to put them down, usually read them in one night. She is wonderful, keeps you interested from beginning to end. I can't wait to read another!!!! Keep them coming.

Summary: Worst book I've ever read!
Review: This book was so horrible I can't even say! I had to end it early to put myself out of my misery!

Summary: IT WAS WONDERFUL AND SUSPENSEFUL ALL THE WAY TO THE END!
Review: I had noticed the book in a college book store and picked it up because of the title and what the cover was, and I just finished it and was wishing that it didn't end the way it did and how fast that it did. For a person that is a writter herself, I will continue to tell others to get the book and recomand it to others that I know would love it. I am going to be going to get her next one and also the audio of ...And then You Die, for I would like to hear it be read. I would love it to be put in to a script and see it in a movie, I think it would be great if it was acted out on a big screen. She does just a breath-taking job.

Summary: Terrific and Suspenseful with Touching Human Characters!!!
Review: I can't say how blown away I was by this book! I absolutely adore all of Iris Johansen's books and this one was not any different for me! The characters were wonderful and complex! The ending was a cliff hanger and very rewarding for the reader! I highly recommend this book! :)

Summary: what a waste of time
Review: The title and jacket cover were totally misleading. I thought the plot would entail a mystery, perhaps intertwining with the supernatural or something just as interesting. What a let down!! I couldn't even get pass chapter 3!! And I'm ususally the first person to give a novel the benefit of the doubt. But this one?? it was awful. It felt like sheer torture trying to get through it. Unless you're an incredibly boring person who likes a read that will either put you to sleep or highly confuse you or both, I would not suggest reading it. As a matter of fact, if this is the first novel by Johansen that you pick up, it just might very well be your last.

Summary: This rates a minus star.
Review: What a waste of time! I got this on audio for a long trip and had to stop and rent a replacement. Bess is so annoying you want to slap her (she's reminds me of Kate Scarlatta's obnoxious niece), Kaldalk is one-dimensional and unrealistic, the author's research is sloppy, the plot is trite, etc, etc. Thank goodness it was from the library and I didn't spend any money on this pitiful effort.

Summary: I'm 125 pages in, asking the same question I asked on p. 15
Review: Why am I READING this??? This book was tersely-written & emotionless. It was a very heavy-handed attempt at drawing in mainstream readership. I read a C. Coulter work (The Cove) that I disliked almost as much as I dislike this book. It had that same dialogue-heavy style, along with annoying, illogical characters, and lack of sexual tension between H&H. If you're into poorly crafted books and you've got money to burn, by all means, buy this complete waste of paper. But don't say I didn't warn ya...
