Book Description

L.A.P.D. Detective Peter Decker doesn't know quite what to make of Lilah Brecht. The beautiful, eccentric spa owner and daughter of a faded Hollywood legend, Lilah was beaten, robbed, and raped in her own home -- and claims to have psychic powers that enable her to see even more devastating events looming on the horizon. With his heart and mind on his pregnant young wife, Rina Lazarus, at home, Peter finds it hard to put much credence in the victim's outrageous claims, or to become too deeply involved with her equally odd brothers and aging film star mom. But when Lilah's dark visions turn frighteningly real, Decker's world will be severely rocked -- as the "false prophet's" secrets and obsessions entrap the dedicated policeman ... and point a killer toward Decker's own vulnerable family.



About the Author

Faye Kellerman introduced L.A. cop Peter Decker and his wife, Rina Lazarus, to the mystery world in 1983. Since then she has published 13 Decker/Lazarus novels, the most recent being the New York Times bestseller The Forgotten. She is also the author of Moon Music, a contemporary thriller set in Las Vegas, and The Quality of Mercy, a historical novel of Elizabethan England. Kellerman lives in California with her husband, noted author Jonathan Kellerman, and their four children, three dogs, and fish too numerous to count.

4.0étoiles sur 5 DOUBLE DECKED, Nov. 8 2003
Par Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: False Prophet (Mass Market Paperback)
The problem with Ms. Kellerman's books is that sometimes it is difficult to adjust to the personal lives of Rina and Peter. They can find themselves in strained emotional conflicts over simple things; Peter sometimes seems so macho it's annoying, and Rina is so Jewish it's distracting. At least in this one, the plot focuses more on the mystery than the personal religious crises. Faye is good with her dialogue, and in this one she develops a few unexpected twists. However, I concur with one reviewer who felt the book just ended without any real closure. Who did kill who? And Pete's over-protection of his now pregnant wife foreshadows what type of new father he'll be. But to Kellerman's credit, I keep reading. Marge Dunn is also becoming a little too cynical and sarcastic, which is sad, because she used to be a lot more likeable.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Slow to start, but still a great book, Juil 13 2003
This review is from: False Prophet (Mass Market Paperback)
The other reviewers seem to be mixed about this one. It's understandable. We've now read quite a few of these things (is this book 5 already?) and the honeymoon between Kellerman and the readers is definitely over. We're now reading the books not because they're as fantastic as the first one, but because we have time and emotion invested in Peter and Rina.

First, it's unfair to compare any of the Rina and Peter books to the first one. The first one was simply the best.

One of the reviewers gave a good plot summary, so I'll refrain from doing that here. Instead I'll say that the book is a little slow to start, but about midway, picks up at a tremendous pace. The characters become wonderfully complicated and Kellerman pulls quite a few tricks out of her hat which caught me by surprise. This book has its twists and turns!

One last comment. Some of Kellerman's books focus more on Peter and Rina's personal relationship, and some focus less. This one is less, for better or worse.

If you've made it to this book, chances are you'll read the next one. See you there! :-)

4.0étoiles sur 5 Complex family relationships, Fév 20 2003
Par Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: False Prophet (Mass Market Paperback)
Faye Kellerman always has two plot strands running through her Peter Decker/Rina Lazarua Mystery Series--the personal and professional parts of their lives. In this, the fifth book of the series, Rina is pregnant and cranky. Her sons and his daughter are a bit put off by the pregnancy and Peter is wondering if he's too old to be fathering a child by his young wife. The professional part of the story deals with a case in which Lilah Brecht, the daughter of a famous actress is assaulted and raped while her mother's jewels and some important papers are stolen from her safe. She clings to Decker in a way that makes both Peter and Rina uneasy. As he delves into Lilah's life, Peter discovers a complex and dysfunctional pattern of behavior between Lilah's mother and her children. Revelation follows revelation until Peter and his partner Marge finally put all of the pieces together. Kellerman is a dependable writer who turns out complex and interesting mysteries with an emphasis on what motivates people to do the things they do.
