Bring Back Peter and Rina . . .,
By Cat (Northborough, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stalker (Hardcover)
Faye Kellerman always writes a good formula thriller, with scary bad guys, fast-paced plotting, and tense endings. Because Stalker delivers these basics, it is well worth a few hours of your time.But for Kellerman's devotees, what sets her stories apart from the other formula thrillers on the airport bookstand are her wonderful characters, Peter, Rina, and Marge, and her ability to grant us a peephole into the world of traditional Orthodox Jewry. These attributes are missing from Stalker. The story focuses primarily on Peter's daughter, Cindy, who proves herself to be neither particularly interesting nor particularly likeable. Indeed, in Stalker, Cindy seems downright obnoxious and behaves so stupidly that Faye Kellerman apparently feels the need to remind us to the point of tedium that Cindy is very smart and has an Ivy League education. Kellerman's normal gift for characterization triumphs in only one respect, revealing an endearing side to the usually boorish Scott Oliver. As a devotee of Kellerman's other books, I was disappointed, but still managed to enjoy Stalker. If Stalker were my first Kellerman, only a five-hour layover in O'Hare would induce me to buy another.

A thriller to remember,
By
This review is from: Stalker (Hardcover)
Los Angeles Police Department Lieutenant Peter Decker faces the worst crisis of his professional career. His daughter Cindy has joined the force over his objections and he has to balance protecting her vs. showing favorable treatment. Tired of her father's shielding nature, Cindy hides from him the fact that she believes someone is stalking her every move and that person might be tied to the murder of a fellow health club member, Armand Crayton.Meanwhile Peter works on a couple of car jacking cases. One of them he and his subordinates believe is tied to the murder of Armand. The carjackers have targeted health club members. To Peter's chagrin, he learns that his daughter is being stalked by most likely someone who wants to ensure the health club members remain silent. The twelfth Decker police procedural is a great entry in a top-notch series because the prime story line turns personal. This provides readers insight into the charcaters of Peter and Cindy. Peter's dilemma and Cindy's distressed reaction to his struggle over a cop for a daughter turns an already fine mystery into a fantastic novel that will entice sub-genre fans to seek out other Faye Kellerman tales (see best-selling JUPITER'S BONES).

Exciting and suspenseful,

This review is from: Stalker (Mass Market Paperback)
Cindy Decker, a new rookie cop based in Hollywood, is finding it hard to cope with the job as she is being constantly hazed by her male colleagues who resent the fact that she has a college education and even more resentful that her father is Lieutenant Peter Decker. When suspicious things start to happen to her, she is determined to go it alone and not seek advice or help from her father...big mistake, as things escalate to downright frightening. It's a great cop story with lots of twists but I couldn't help but feel that this girl who is supposed to be a mature, gun carrying police woman, needs a good slap around the legs for being so obstinate and just plain stupid!
