Customer Reviews

This One Kept Me Guessing

This book kept me guessing. The characters were not your usual bunch of women's suspense novel people, the tough-as-nails heroine, the hero who could break Arnold Schwartzengger over his knee. I think one really interesting thing about this book is that everybody seemed haunted by the past except the old lady who could see into the future. The little kid who might be psychic was interesting, too. She wasn't a cutesy-wootzy kid-she needed love, and it was going to take special people to reach her. This book seemed to me to be about loners who learn to let down their defenses, but it was also a good suspense story. I'm going to try to read all this writer's books.

A Striking Mixture of Darkness and Light

Part of the pleasure of this book is watching the author weave together what seem, at first, to be totally unrelated story lines: a terrorist bombing, a mysterious little girl who's been abandoned, and an actress forced to substitute for an ailing phone psychic. The heroine, Eden, is a successful voice-over artist who's made her own way in the world and thinks she's left her difficult childhood and complicated family behind. She values her independence and believes the past has little power over her. Not only is she drawn back into old relationships, she finds herself facing troubling new ones, with a vulnerable little girl and a hero as determined as Eden to stay uninvolved. Emotion builds, and so does danger, because the child knows too much, and soon, so does Eden. This is a good suspense tale with definitely dark overtones, but it is also a very different kind of love story, as well as one of a family finding itself. Darkness and light entertwine for an intriguing read.

HEAR NO EVIL--A non-stop-page-turner!

Bethany Campbell has created another taut, riveting, non-stop-page-turner of a suspense. As in all of Campbell's books, the characters are multi-dimensional and fascinating, whether it's the heroine, Eden, or the hero, Owen. Campbell is particularly good with the villains, giving them an edgy vulnerablilty that makes them understandable and contemptible at the same time. HEAR NO EVIL is a great, gripping read and continues to establish Campbell as one of today's most accomplished writers of suspense.

An eerie, suspenseful read...

This is a complex and original thriller with great characters and wonderful mood. It's a keeper! Highly recommended.

Don't talk to strangers when running to buy this thriller

Thirty-three years old Eden Storey has a talented voice that allows her to imitate almost any type of person. As such, her vocal chords are well known by media audiences everywhere even though her face and body have been obscured. However, her talent is needed elsewhere as Grandma Jessie becomes incapacitated and can not operate the family business of a phone psychic. Eden pretends to be her grandmother so her clients will continue to phone her for readings. One timorous customer frighteningly calls and paints an Armageddon like picture to Eden. However, Eden is unaware that anyone who knows about the scenario described by the distraugt caller is placed in an immediate life-threatening situation. Though wondering if the caller is a paranoid conspiracy nut, Eden has unwittingly and unknowingly come into knowledge of something sinister that, makes her a target requiring elimination. HEAR NO EVIL is a fabulously tense chiller that will elate fans of suspense thrillers. The story line is action packed and the characters will appeal to the readers. Best selling author Bethany Campbell's latest book will please her fans, who will impatiently await more chills from one of the nineties new masters. Anyone who enjoys a suspense-filled thriller should try this novel and Ms. Campbell's previous works like SEE HOW THEY RUN and DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS because they are well-written tales.Harriet Klausner
