THERE'S NOT MUCH THAT FRIGHTENS CHARLEY, BUT....,
By
This review is from: Charley's Web (Audio CD)
Charley Webb is a successful single mom with what many might consider a dream job - she writes a column for the Palm Beach Post. What those who may envy her position may not realize is that along with the column comes not only kudos but also a lot of criticism. To date Charley has handled this well.After unhappy, almost traumatic experiences, with those who are supposed to be near and dear she has isolated herself emotionally. So, when she hears from Jill Rohmer, a woman on Death Row convicted of murdering three young children, Charley thinks she can handle talking to her plus the idea of penning Jill's biography is pretty appealing. It would be the first literary effort for Charley and maybe a bestseller. In all probability she didn't realize just how tricky dealing with a sick criminal mind can be because she soon discovers that Jill had an accomplice in the killings, a man equally deluded and dangerous. He is referred to as Jack but where he is or who he actually is Charley does not know. What she does know and what terrifies her are the anonymous letters she begins to receive and the threats to her son. Another can't-stop-listening-to thriller from Joy Fielding, and one more award worthy voice performance by the always remarkable Susan Ericksen. - Gail Cooke

Very disappointed,
By C. Mathieu "waldenpond88" (Worcester, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Charley's Web (Mass Market Paperback)
I could not even finish reading this book. I enjoyed most Fielding thrillers, but in "Charley's Web" she obviously tried to approach a younger audience by incorporating computer & e-mails. The long e-mail in the beginning of the first chapter was extremely boring and put me off.Joy Fielding should know better how to write a compelling book. I will reread her older books. They are excellent!

Fielding has done it again,
By Mary K. Colucci - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Charley's Web: A Novel (Hardcover)
And now I have to wait another whole year for her "latest." I finished CHARLEY'S WEB earlier this afternoon, and my heart is still beating fast. The author is a master at creating credible psychological suspense. Fielding's characters are flawed -- I didn't particularly admire Charley, certainly did not like her long-lost/recently found mother, etc., but as usual I could not put the book down. Fielding's characters STAY with you, and even if the mystery wanes, one is drawn to the characters. Suspense is the name of her game, and no one can build it, and certainly end it, like Joy Fielding.

Joy Fielding Always Delivers,
By Kathy-Diane Leveille - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Charley's Web: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)
Joy Fielding has done it again. This book, as with her previous novels, has just the right combination of suspense, romance, pathos and humor to keep you hooked from page one through to the end. A warning to the faint hearted: The details of a child murder committed by the prisoner that the protagonist interviews are grisly. It's a tough subject to tackle in fiction and I admire Fielding's courage in trying.
