Customer Reviews

Harper returns with a grisly thrill ride!

Andrew Harper (Douglas Clegg's alter ego)returns with a not-inclusive sequel to BAD KARMA with RED ANGEL. The idea behind these books is to craft a fast-paced, character driven story that you can read in 2-3 sittings. And Harper demands that you stay with the story with enough twist and turns to dare you to try and quit reading. The he throws in enough character development to flesh out the main players all the while twisting your stomach with gut wrenching scenes of torture and murder! The plot is straight forward, the climax worthwhile and most importantly, the characters stay true throughout the novel...they don't have a revelation that is "smart" or "cute". This is lean prose by a master writer. I would recommend any of Douglas Clegg's books after you finish this one....the Clegg books are more richly woven tales but RED ANGEL is a showcase of a imaginative writer on top of his craft!

Chiller

Tery has to find the killer before he kills his next child. But does trey have to use psychopath to catchone? Find out in this wonderful, fasted paced book. It gets you hooked and you wont beable to put it down. So pick up RED ANGEL!!!

Tense Disturbing Thriller

A fitting sequel to Bad Karma from the same author (a pseudonym for horror author Douglas Clegg). You don't have to have read Bad Karma to read Red Angel -- they both stand independently, though they share a character. But Red Angel is a tense, disturbing, serial-killer thriller that makes you turn the pages so fast you'll have finished the book before you know it. Highly recommended, and definitely a real chiller.

Tight suspense and enough gore to keep the this fan happy!

I just finished reading Red Angel. It was one heckuva tight read! The pace is great and the action just keeps coming. This book also manages to hold the interest of the reader even when the weapon wielding killer isn't doing his worst. Some of the books that I've read involving the "criminally insane" get so into the psychological aspect of the crimes that the book loses some of its energy. Not so in Red Angel! Andrew Harper just lets the crazies be crazies and the blood flows freely from that point on. I loved this book - can't say enough good about it!

Pulse-Pounding Suspense from a Master!

The pages just seemed to fly by in yet another great story about Darden State Hospital by Andrew Harper. The imagery, locale and characters are portrayed so realistically that you almost feel this is a real place, one that you just know exists. There is so much to love about Andrew Harper's writing (i.e., Douglas Clegg), that each time one of his books is published, I immediately have to put aside anything else I'm reading to get to his. He has a way of evoking a time and place that puts you right in the middle of the story - that makes you feel as if you're living it. Hopefully, there will be more about the inmates and workers of Darden State . . . . and Harrow House, too!
