5.0étoiles sur 5 Houston, we have a winner!, Jui 24 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Mercy (Paperback)
This guy is a great writer. Not only is the plot fascinating, juicy and suspenseful, the characters are genuine and interesting, especially the Latin lady-cop. Above all, Lindsey captures the essence of Houston with all its complex problems and diversity that become apparent to anyone who visits that city for any length of time. Lindsey captures the setting best of anyone and certainly better than those at UH creative writing program!

1.0étoiles sur 5 You call this a mystery?, Mai 5 2004
Par Inkslave (Da Heartland) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Mercy (Paperback)
I don't get what people like about this book. Lindsey is a fluid writer, good describer, but his characters spend way too much time in their own heads and the action, in this book at least, is predictable and rendered downright boring. All the lurid details that are supposed to add to the "psychoerotic" nature of the book come off as crude and off-putting instead, like a geek at a sideshow biting the head off a chicken. And anyone who can't guess the "surprise twist" by page 25 wasn't reading very closely.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Powerful, literate, disturbing work, Oct. 9 2003
Par Avid Reader (Franklin, Tn) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Mercy (Paperback)
David Lindsey is one of the most underrated authors in the field today. His novels are always intelligent and interesting and most emerge from authentic FBI case histories. MERCY is not so much a routine who-dun-it mystery as an exploration of the psychology of fetishes and sex, particularly kinky sex - that is assuming one doesn't consider masochism, sadism, cross-dressing, and dominatrix luncheons slightly off.

There is another story beneath the obvious one and that is the practice of such behavior within the confines of polite society. The "victimes" are upper-class women of a certain type - the country club, suburban, once-a-week therapist type. Lindsey has a real knack for looking at events through the eyes of the disturbed individual, again calling on his real-life experience (FBI profiling).

The prose is rich and sweeping, the organization superb, the entire story always a little on edge. This is deeply disturbing novel but an important one.
