Rating: Summary: Gothic romance wishes it were _The Silence of the Lambs_ Review: A reader could hurt herself, falling through all the plot holes in this book.Do you enjoy being treated as though you were stupid? i.e., being expected not to notice all the hanging threads and gratuitous plot twists? Do you enjoy a book full of ludicrously unrealistic characters? Do you enjoy abusive "romantic" banter? If so, this novel is for you!
Rating: Summary: An amatuerish book by a professional writer. Review: Much of the story was too contrived, although interesting for light reading. The building of a maze at so many locations seems unlikely -- and with his income? Also, a good editor would not have let so many errors slip by. For example, on p.35: She hit shorty in the breast when she was aiming for the throat.
Rating: Summary: A bore Review: I found myself skimming past passages of this book and I don't know why I bothered with finishing it. It is rather a flimsy attempt at a "Silence of the Lambs" type plot with romance thrown in. The serial killer scenario is only mildly engaging and the romantic aspects hurt the book tremedously. Not recommended for serious suspense/crime/mystery enthusiasts.

Rating: Summary: A novel packed with tension, twists, and surprises. Review: Catherine Coulter's The Maze, is a contemporary suspense novel that is packed with tension, twists and surprises, and delivers a love story of two dynamic individuals who together solve a baffling killing. "Did you kill Belinda?" He grinned up at her didn't look to be in any pain. "Did you, Marlin? Did you kill Belinda?" "Why should I tell you anything?" "So I can judge which of you is a better man, Marlin, you or your daddy. I can't really know until you tell me about Belinda. Did you kill her?" This is one of the many quotes that show the tension and suspense that flows throughout the whole novel. The Maze was one of those books that you can't put down. It grabs your attention and doesn't let go of it until you have completed the novel. Catherine Coulter is a best-selling author of romance novels, and four contemporary suspense novels. The Maze is a riveting book that is packed with action and spine-tingling romantic suspense that helps to reveal the theme to the reader. Catherine Coulter's novel, The Maze, was jammed packed with themes, but the one I feel was most evident was the theme that sometimes horrible events and experiences will occur, but eventually they will lead to GREAT things. Rather than jamming the theme into the last few pages, Coulter had the theme running throughout the entire novel. This theme was clearly seen throughout the novel because the reader continually saw how Lacey Sherlock had suffered a great deal ever since her older sister died. She was faced with terrible nightmares for as long as seven years, and was forced to live in a world, which she felt was always out to get her. Eventually, after seven years of torture and nightmares, the brutal death of her sister led her to discover that her real passion and love was working in the FBI. It also led her to meet someone who she would fall in love with. I would give this novel four and a half stars because I didn't want to put the book down. I found myself wanting to read at every possible moment just to find out what was going to happen. For anyone who loves reading, or maybe even hates reading, you will definitely love this book.

Rating: Summary: Another great thriller by Catherine Coulter Review: Typical Catherine Coulter thriller. I was litterally sitting on a Federal jury when I read this. Great blend of suspense and romance!
Rating: Summary: Predictable Review: this book is a romance novel which happens to have a long, drawn out, immature plot. The charactors are too perfect, their hokey methods are too on-the-money; nothing appears real. Memo to the author: if you want to write a romance novel, write a romance novel.. all the games the charactors played in their 'heads' were too much. murder mysteries make great entertaining reading; but when mixed with romance, it takes the edge (you so despartly want) away, out
Rating: Summary: this is a great book Review: I am a huge fan of coulter, i have enjoyed every book i read written by her. this one is now my favorite, great suspense, twists and turns, romance and plots that kept me guessing right up to the end.very creative characters,this book is defenitely worth not missing.
