Southern Inhospitality

When Farris writes straight thrillers, they're pretty gritty. This is one of his grittiest.A CIA adventurer, recovering from having bitten off more than he could chew, finds himself falling in love with a besieged heiress. The usual cast of stock Southern baddies have their own agendas for the heiress' money - but, of course, there's this little problem of getting her out of the way, first.Nothing you haven't read or seen before, but Farris writes it splendidly. This one's mostly in the Phillip Marlowe mold, a crime novel set in a decaying Southern manse as opposed to the streets of the city. If you like that kind of thing, jump on in. The water's fine.

Great Read!

This was my first John Farris book and I was really surprized at how interesting it was. Without giving anything away, I could not believe how well he wrapped up so many plot twists at the end. If you like Dean Koontz or books like that, you will love this book.

I would read this book again.....

I thought Dragonfly was a great thought-provoking novel. When I read the last words inside the jacket, I was thinking 'what does that mean?' I found out when I really got into the book and it got me more interested. This book is a real find. I strongly recommend it for anyone who likes John Farris.
