Product Description

She’s searching for the man who killed her daughter. But will he find her first?

In a novel that grips like a waking nightmare, master storyteller Joy Fielding creates a searing examination of a horrifying crime, the limits of the law, and a woman’s terrifying journey into a killer’s twisted mind. In one tragic afternoon everything changed. Until then, Gail Walton had considered herself lucky. With a successful husband, two daughters, and a house in the New Jersey suburbs, Gail lived a safe and predictable life. Then the unthinkable happened: her six-year-old daughter Cindy was abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered.

Consumed by grief and rage, Gail has retreated into herself. Her family and friends fear she’s losing her grip on reality. The police warn her to let them handle the investigation. But not one of them knows the truth: that Gail has a description of the killer, a plan to set herself up as a decoy, and a room in a run-down boardinghouse. And Gail Walton has just bought herself a gun.…


Ingram

Gail Walton is comfortable and secure with a successful husband, two beloved daughters, and a house in the New Jersey suburbs. But one tragic afternoon shatters her perfect life beyond all recognition. Gail's six-year-old daughter is abducted from the neighborhood park, sexually assaulted, and murdered. Consumed with grief and rage, Gail turns her back on the police investigation and takes the law into her own hands. Armed with a description of the killer and a handgun, she prepares a meticulous trap to exact the ultimate revenge. This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Oddly gripping, but mostly just bad., Oct. 10 2003
Par C. Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Life Penalty (Mass Market Paperback)
I didn't dislike Gail-- I actually think that one of the things Fielding did decently was create a portrait of a woman gone mad with grief. Hence the extra star on what really is a one-star novel...

What I did dislike was that it was poorly written. It was often wooden and jerky in style. It read like it was written far too quickly.

Skip this one.

4.0étoiles sur 5 VERY GOOD, Nov. 28 2000
Par Un client
This review is from: Life Penalty (Mass Market Paperback)
Gail had the perfect life until her six year old daughter, Cindy, was brutally raped and murdered. After that, Gail's only mission in life was to find the monster who did this. I notice that many of the readers here have a strong dislike for Gail, and in many ways, I can understand that. However, we have to remember the kind of loss that Gail has suffered. Nothing could be worse than having your child murdered. How is Gail supposed to function like a "normal" person, considering what happened? She repeatedly puts her life in danger in an effort to catch the killer, and it's obvious that part of her doesn't really want to live. Her plans to find this killer make no sense at all, and I felt tremendous sympathy for her husband, Jack and daughter, Jennifer throughout all of this. Gail so desperately needed help, but she refused to get it. Even when she finally did see a psychiatrist, she told him that she wouldn't let him help her.

In this book, Joy Fielding takes you on a journey that no one wants to take - losing your child to murder. You get to experience this through Gail's eyes. Although the ending wasn't quite what I expected, the book was still very good overall.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Gripping, well written......, Aoû 4 2000
Par Un client
This review is from: Life Penalty (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked this hardcover up during the 80's when it first came out and I enjoyed the read. Sure some of this sounds far-fetched but Joy Fielding along with Mary Higgins Clark were at the top of women writers in the 80's given readers chilling suspense and a good fast read. It seems now a days all these stories they wrote about so well, have been put through the mill and rehashed a million times over. I guess when you look back they may seem somewhat tame and maybe even dull compared to what they write about these days but I still remember this story and reading it till 4AM till finished and enjoying it, thats what readings about. Its really not as bad as many of the reviewers claim.
