False Prophet by Faye Kellerman

Faye Kellerman never disappoints. Her writing style apparently suits me very well since I think I now have all her books. She keeps her characters tight, you know why she writing about them. I almost feel she and Akiva are real people that she is just letting us have a look at their lives, with all the problems and joys. I hope she never stops writing about these characters and continues to let them grow an develop.

Here's a Fantastic Read!

I love Ms Kellerman's writing and this book was most emphatically not a dissapointment! Extremely engaging story, vivid characters, exciting plot, this book grabbed my attention with a fierce grip! I read the book in 2 days...couldn't put it down.

not a good choice if you want a book you can put down and read casually....

Another page turner! Great book, each book in this series is better than the last, if that is even possible! cons: don't expect to get anything done or any sleep until you finish this book

False Prophet

I love ALL Faye Kellerman's books with Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus as the main characters. Recently I read another book where Jewish customs were an important part of the plot and realized that over the years I've learned a lot about them from reading Kellerman's books. But that's beside the point. She writes an interesting story that keeps you coming back for more. I can hardly wait until the next book. And I'm reading old books to make sure I haven't missed any.

Slow to start, but still a great book

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! :-)
