Another Brilliant Book by Steven Piziks

Exciting story. This author is just wonderful. :)

Motel of Mystery

This book is a novelization of the film by the same name. Many scenes seem to be grittier and more explicit than one would expect from the film and there is plenty of delving into characters' thoughts, so this won't be identical to the film.The story follows two paths.The first path concerns a psychotic murderer who has less than a day before his execution. A last minute plea has been filed and the convict must be transported to the late-night hearing.The second path concerns a rundown roadside motel. A torrential rainstorm makes the motel a haven for a cast of stranded characters. But shortly after reaching the motel, one of the characters is brutally murdered.Who is the murderer? That is the beauty of the plot. Like in many classics, everyone can be a suspect and even the reader is kept guessing. Soon the body count begins to rise and tempers grow short and hot.A local Native American legend may supply part of the answer. The motel is almost directly on the site of a massacre where only one Native American survived who then cursed the land.The plot keeps moving and taking unexpected twists so that the reader is hooked all the way to the final resolution of the very last page.This is an excellent tale of mystery/horror with shades of Agatha Christie and Sir Alfred Hitchcock.

Great Modern "10 Little Indians"

This is a modern version of Agatha Christie's 10 Little Indians, but with a new twist. I really got into this book and didn't want to stop reading it. Like a good mystery, it kept me guessing up til the end and had great plot twists. Whether you're going to see the movie or not, this is a great mystery book.
