Summary: Haven; A Novel of Anxiety
Review: Haven, by John Peyton Cooke, is the story of a doctor, Cecelia Mak, and her husband, Mike. Cecelia is transferred to a little town in Haven, Idaho. Problems begin the moment they step into their new home. The people of the small town seem to be surprised that Cecelia is married to an Asian. Mysterious phone calls and pranks begin to take place. Mike suspects the Havenites are racists. But as events begin to unfold, a far worse conclusion is drawn that costs the lives of people. The way the story is written steps into the territory of Ira Levin and Stephen King. It is dark and very scary. Haven is a good book for people fascinated by the details of the Holocaust and what happened to some of the Nazis that fled Germany.

Summary: Harmless fun
Review: Unlike the people of the town of Haven, this book is harmless fun for mystery readers. Anyone with a brain will figure out what is going to happen well before it actually does happen yet the book remains interesting through the end. The least enjoyable aspect of this book is the cliche stereotyping of the people.
