The perfect crime

Since the first page till the end, this book has the perfect crime, "More know the devil for old than for devil", is the first book that I read that since the beginning is telling you part of the finish, that keeps you interested in the story all the time, and as I like from many writers, T.W. Simpson doesn't put Sam like a woman that doesn't know what to do and how to handle any particular situation, I like when the women can defend their selves alone or almost alone, and at the end you will see how to do a perfect crime... many times.SIX STARS FOR THIS ONE

The Caretaker

A masterpiece! I read this book a year ago and I am still raving about how wonderfully written and seductively suspensful this was to read. Mr. Simpson is an extremely gifted storyteller and has one deeply devoted reader at his fingertips! Hope to see him out with a new one soon. A devoted fan.....and many friends.....The Caretaker ROCKS!!!!

Riveting page turner!

I couldn`t put this one down! I usually skim through the books I read and it still takes a couple weeks to finish. I finished this one in four days! This book is unbelievable!

One of the best examples of suspense fiction.

So many writers of this genre write very predictably. Not this author. His characters drive the plot, rather than the other way around, making the outcome that much more creepy and ultimately satisfying. A must-read for suspense-lovers. I also recommend his first book, THIS WAY MADNESS LIES, one of the best first novels of all time.

One of my best reads in a long while!!!

I thought this book was great! I highly recommend it. The story's twists and turns were intriguing and certainly kept my interest. I couldn't wait to read the ending. I will pursue this author in the hopes of finding another like this!
