Summary: WhoDunnit?
Review: Based on the WB's hit series. Clark, Lana, and Chloe search for a missing friend, but instead find an entire family murdered. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor's father is abducted. Neither Clark's superpowers nor Lex's wealth can help in either case. Original.

Summary: Decent Mystery, But Why Smallville?
Review: Four murders and a kidnaping make up the basis for this mystery set in the world of the television show Smallville.The mystery was good. Clark and friends discover that a friend and his family have been murdered. Lionel Luthor (Lex's father) has been kidnaped. Two good plots that are handled quite well. Unfortunately, it reads like a mystery the author could not sell elsewhere so he moved the setting to Smallville. I don't know if this is really true, but there are no real aspects of the show used in the plot. The only advantage to the Smallville setting is that readers already know how unpleasant Lex's father really is so the author does not have to give any detail. The story ends in a typical fashion with Lex curious as to how Clark managed to be on the scene and say the day yet again. A good mystery but no real development of the Smallville story line.

Summary: Why Smallville?
Review: I agree with Joshua Koppel's review... there is nothing here to advance the Smallville storyline. This could have been a Hardy Boys mystery. I'm not saying the story itself is bad, I was just terribly disappointed that it was such a generic mystery story and could have been plopped in any series with some character name changes. The only thing special I remember Clark doing was using some X-ray vision a couple of times and bringing Chloe a cup of coffee at superspeed. "City" is a much better read, it is much more Smallville than this book.

Summary: One problem w/ the book
Review: I LOVE IT! Suspenseful, well-written, and exciting! One problem: It should have concluded on the Luthor story line with some curious words from Lex about how Clark saved the day (once again) or a parting put-down from Lionel towards Lex. Regardless, I think you'll enjoy it.

Summary: this book is superb
Review: most smallville books have put me to sleep. this one they really should see if they could make an episode of. it starts out with
clark, lana and chloe going to a mutual freid's house after he has not shown up in school for a couple of days. what they find is a gruesome murder scene. elsewhere the infamous lionel luther
is kidnapped in broad daylight by some very interprising kipnappers. neither clark's powers or lex's wealth will solve their problems which gives the story an intersting twist that i
think that all smallvile fans will love and appreciate.

Summary: Excellent companion to the series
Review: The Smallville companion novels are quite good. They maintain the characters and there interrelationships faithfully. It was good fun to read. I highly recommend all the books in this series.

Summary: Smallville ( Whodunnit )
Review: This was the best of the Smallville books that have been released as of Summer 2003. I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. It's the least repetitive when it comes to the Kent backstory which is a plus since the other books in the series tend to spend too much time explaining the origins of Clark Kent. If I were to recommend ONE book from the series, this would be the one.
