Trick Me Twice

Summary: TRICKY THRILLER
Review: "Trick Me Twice" is one of those books that's fascinating in its concept and although it tends to move at a slow pace for a while, it nonetheless presents a disturbing portrayal of mental illness and serial killing by a rather different antagonist---the killer is a 73 year old retired truck driver. We know that from the start, but that doesn't weaken or nullify the suspense. It's in wondering how and when the old guy will get caught.
Using the familiar background of a child being abused sexually, physically and psychologically by an older sister, Solomita's novel nonetheless validates the use of this background. I didn't feel a lot of sympathy for old Zeke, but one has to admit the abuse he had to take while a child is horrifying. Once Zeke gets into the army, though, and becomes a sniper, we learn how his twisted mind relates to snuffing out women's lives. It's amazing that he gets away with it for so long.
Pat Detrick is an interesting female lead, and her involvement with security guard Rick Morello is fetching and believable.
My deepest regret, however, is the rather nebulous ending wherein we don't know exactly what is going to happen to Pat. One can only hope it's good stuff.
RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Slow start fast finish
Review: Solomita rocks, as always. It was tough digging in at first, but the story gained momentum and was warp 9 at the end. Beliveable charachters, plot, and setting, and the twist of knowing who the bad guy is from the start!

Summary: Uhm............what exactly happened?????
Review: This was a good book....I think. Characters were great, plot was great, blah blah blah. But the ending...just made no sense at all and was a letdown because after a great novel...it just didn't make sense. Anyone mind e-mailing me and explaining to me exactly WHAT happened at the end here?

Decent, if forgettable novel, but the ending just loses it for me...and not only that, but leaves me horribly confused...
