Book Review: Allison Brennan Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up my first Allison Brennan book from a sale on paperbacks at Amazon, and am now quickly going thru all I can find. She has a deep insight into a world which many do not, and that comes to play in examining the "what-if" one of these guys was really a serial killer - how would that play? She examines the darker side of BDSM, but not from that world, from the life of a serial killer who uses some of its methods for not fun, but evil and torture. She also, like Jonathan Kellerman in his Alex Delaware novels, examines the psychological side of the killer, showing that not everything is as cut-and-dried as newspaper reports would like to make us think. Some of what she writes is very scary because power plays can be very scary, and the killers she creates for her stories know how to play these games with their victims. 'Fear No Evil' is probably my favorite, but you will see through her "xxxx no evil" books that the main character changes and is related somehow to the other stories, but another person somewhere else is taking the lead. Very interesting effect. "SEE NO EVIL" is the story of a girl whose status-symbol mother marries a "sick" judge who quickly forces the girl to become his victim, in a way that she is unable to escape. An online group, suggested by her therapist, allows her to exorcise some of the thoughts she has, including how she pictures him dying. Is it deja vu? Already you know he dies in such a fashion...but who pulled it off? And what do the online group and the therapist have to do with this? And why doesn't her mother believe in her innocence? Her aunt, related through her father, steps in to try to find proof of her niece's innocence and ends up hiring as PI a man who she almost forced out of his last career as a police detective. His brothers play various roles as well, and have been seen in other of Allison Brennan's books, making me want to hunt them all down and find the single ones...not extraordinary men, pretty down-to-earth, but definitely in the 'git-er-done' category of taking care of business and each other, even when not talking to each other for years (but that might be another book). And another plot underlines the main one of absolving her niece. Worth the read, but make sure you have time to finish it the day you start it; work will have to wait once you get started on one of her books, and this is one of her best as well!
Summary of See No Evil: A Novel
A cunning killer hides in plain sight.A troubled teenage girl has been charged with the grisly murder of her stepfather. The evidence is damning: Emily was found alone at the scene with blood on her hands, and an incriminating e-mail she wrote outlines a murder plot identical to the method of the brutal slaying. But deputy district attorney Julia Chandler believes her niece is innocent, and she?s determined to keep the promise she made to protect her dead brother?s daughter?even if it means hiring private eye Connor Kincaid . . . the man who blames her for forcing his resignation from the police department.
Together Julia and Connor uncover a chain of unsolved violent crimes tied to an unorthodox therapist whose anonymous online patients purge their anger by posting lethal fantasies. But someone in the group has turned vigilante, turning the game of virtual murder into a flesh-and-blood vendetta.
After evil is seen, face your ultimate fear.
