False Prophet: A Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus Novel by Faye Kellerman
Reader Reviews Slow to start, but still a great book, July 13, 2003 Reviewer: Peter Jay Salzman from Davis, CA 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! :-)
