Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

"He sits in the woods holding her hand." This sentence is the first of many clever ploys that make this book a stand-out among serial-killer novels. You could say it's just one gimmick after another -- missing body parts, lipstick on corpses, sexual obsessions, implications of incest, reek of rotting flesh in a shabby motel room, small children trying pathetically to be brave -- and yet as shameless as Martin is, you'll give him credit for pulling it off with panache. I recommend that you try your darndest to figure out the mystery, too; the answer is deeply weird. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From Publishers Weekly

Influential real estate developer Jonathan Gaetan is murdered. Was the killer Mary, his wife? Nut case Phil Jameson? Mary and Phil in collusion? Deposed detective Teddy Camel makes a comeback and sets the record straight in this "violent, psychologically acute, grossly logical thriller, with an amusing epilogue," said PW .

2.0 out of 5 stars interesting but predictable and far-fetched, April 16 2004
By Ja'Maul Redmond (Charlotte, N.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lie to Me (Paperback)
I had mixed feeling about this book when I finished it , so i decided to wait a few days and absorb what i read before writing a review. I then started comparing it to other mystery books and realized that this book is far from great.

my first problem is how far-fetched the whole story is. Every mystery has a struggling dectective in it, but this guy's life is just unbeleivable. His whole divorce and separation from his daughter is completely over the top. He never abused them nor really treated them poorly, But yet they "Refuse" to ever talk to him again because he was a workaholic? The overall plot also took unbelievable twist and turns just for the sake of it. With all of this going on , the book was still predictable. 1/2 way into it, you can predict who will be killed by the serial killer and who will survive.

Red Dragon is MUCH better.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!!!, Jan 28 2002
By Scott Shirley (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lie to Me (Hardcover)
The old saying is true, you can't judge a book by it's cover. The title sounded goofy, sounded cheesy....but what a fantastic book!! I only put this down to get some sleep. It's that good.

Meet Dect. Camel. He's a burned out dect, who's just putting in the last few years so he can get full benfits when he retires. He's burned out. He drinks to much and sleeps at work. One day his life changes when he has to question a woman about the apparent suscide of her husband.

A seral killer is lose. He has his sights on murdering a man....and get what's coming to him....what he think he deserves. And if he has to kill a few people along the way...so be it. This is a killer who's haunted by his past, and can't escape it.

Soon Camel and the killer will come face to face....

Martin has an outstading writing style, and that's rare these days. The reader will be glued to the page with many, many, plot twists. As you become engaged with this book, you can't put it down.

If you like books that has a serial killer, violent, twisted and sick, then this is a book for you.

I highly suggest this book. I can primise you won't be sorry...then as you get into the book...make sure your doors are locked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious yet Satisfying, Oct 9 2001
By Alexis C. (San Francisco, Ca.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lie to Me (Hardcover)
The book left me on the edge of my seat. The begining definately caught my attention and kept me interested in what actually happened to the real killer in the end. All the while secrets and lies were produced and descovered making the book that much more interesting to read. I couldn't keep my eyes off the mysterious and descriptive words as I turned each page eager to find out what happens next. "Lie To Me" is a cutting edge thriller, not for the weak of stomach. The graphic detail helped myself better visualize the characters and the plot the book was presenting. This was definately one of the best books I've read.
