The Lazarus Tree

Rating:
Summary: Very perceptive characterizations
Review: Richardson's killer is not that difficult to spot toward's the end of the book, if it were not for that I would rate the book higher. He did an excellant job in describing his characters so that the reader knows them as a 3rd person meeting them on the street would know them. The gift Richardson has is in revealing those characters from the inside. He gives the reader brief glimpses inside a character so that one knows why a particular person acted as he did. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
