Product Description:
'HIS MOST EFFECTIVE THRILLER TO DATE. . . [A] COMPELLING READ.'
--The Seattle Times
For five years Seattle journalist Anne Jeffers has pursued the horrifying story of a sadistic serial killer's bloody reign, capture, trial, and appeal--crusading to keep the wheels of justice churning toward the electric chair. Now the day of execution has come. A convicted killer will meet his end. Anne believes her long nightmare is over. But she's dead wrong. . . .
'ELECTRIFYINGLY SCARY.'
--San Jose Mercury News
Within days, a similar murder stuns the city. As the butcher stalks his subsequent victims, creeping ever closer to her, Anne is seized by an icy unease, a haunting sense of connection to these unspeakable crimes. And, relentlessly, she hears the eerie echo of the dead man's last words to her: 'Today won't end it. How will you feel, Anne? When I'm dead, and it all starts again, how will you feel?'
'ONE OF SAUL'S BEST.'

This is a fast-paced easy to read thriller. Maybe it is on the simple side & maybe redundant at times, however it was entertaining.
I enjoyed the book, although I had a problem w/ the murderer being executed after only 2yrs from sentancing - TX doesn't even kill 'em that quick. Also, the whole "Indian" (Native American) stuff w/ Sheila Harrar just seemed...I don't know, but Mr. Saul could have done a better job w/ that topic.

I love to read suspense thrillers. This is one of the best that I have ever read! It kept me guessing until the very end. Not the typical serial killer book. Also very different that most of Saul's books.

I thought the book was okay. It started out with a man on death row who maintains his innocence and the journalist who played a role putting him away. However, I had no idea that this book was sci-fi. I do not care for this genre but it was still rather suspenseful. The ending left a lot to be desired but it's a good book if you're looking to kill time in a waiting room or on an airplane.

This abridged audio book is the worst I've listened to having been cut from over 400 pages down to 3 very short audio CDs.
The story doesn't flow from one event to another, instead people dissappear during conversations, past conversations are referenced that never took place in the audio book, and people travel miles between one sentence and the next.
To abridge this book they gave the paperback to a monkey in the zoo, let him randomly tear out pages, and what was left they gave to Lee Merriweather to read. It's a confusing mess.
Never again will I purchase an abridged version of a book. I've read the book and all I can say is "Poor John Saul".

Black Lightning,
Cliché ?
Many writers use this type of story often. Does this take away from the enjoyment of the read? I say NO! I rather enjoyed this book. If I would have listened to what other reviewers had to say I would have never have read John Saul.
Anne and Glen Jeffers find themselves trapped in a nightmare that seems to have no end. A serial killer seems to be haunting them from the dead. Anne and her husband are taken on a whirlwind of a ride.
I thought the book moved at a nice pace, it kept me turning pages. I do not like to give away plot so I will just continue with my overall opinion.
This book does borrow many elements from horror books that have gone in the past, but I believe this genre has plenty of room for more books like this. Overall this book was fun and enjoyable. I never felt bogged down or bored. The pages turned at a nice pace and the story flowed smoothly. John Saul has a very smooth way of telling a tale. Although this book may not be great, I felt it was good and deserved much better treatment than many reviewers gave it. I liked the book well enough to purchase other Saul books.
