It was more of a 'tying up loose ends' than a story in itself and could realistically have been used as sub plot in another story rather than have it's own book. Saying that, it did finish things up nicely with the recurring bad guy and leave it nicely open for the good guys to carry on. Hurrah! ( ) Ulysses and Lilly, two people suffering with multiple personality disorder, fall in love. This story starts there and goes full tilt until the very end. One personality is a serial killer, another a hard-edged biker babe unafraid to kill. Then there's the sweet, naive man-child and the trusting, hopeful young woman. Personalities fight for dominance and the good and bad guy are all wrapped up in one package. Nasaw is an excellent writer. He tackles a fascinating subject with sizzling suspense that kept me on the edge throughout the book. If you enjoy psychological suspense, this is one book you shouldn't miss. A return for Dr Irene Cogan and ex FBI agent E.L Pender. This tale picks up some years after the events in "The Girls He Adored" and tells the story of Lily deVries one of Cogan's patients suffering from dissociative identify disorder and what happens after she meets the pyshopathic Ulysses Maxwell at a treatment centre. I actually enjoyed this more than the The girls he adored - the writing is sharp and the charcaters well written including Lissy and Lily and their alter egos. All too often a crime tale will use an illness such as DID as a useful foil at the end of a story. Here it is the story and one that is all the better for it. An great read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The author of Twenty-Seven Bones and The Girls He Adored delivers another nailbiting thriller featuring former FBI agent E. L. Pender. Breathtaking and suspenseful, yet leavened with a perverse and quirky humor, When She Was Bad examines the terrifying relationship between two hot young lovers who also happen to be coldblooded killers. "Multiples in love: imagine the possibilities," said one of the twisted couple's earlier victims. Lily DeVries and Ulysses Maxwell have quite a few things in common. Both were horrifically abused as children, then diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, and eventually incarcerated in the same Oregon mental institution. There, they fell into the hands of the well-meaning, genially sinister director, Dr. Al. When the ingenious lovers engineer a bloody escape, the only people who have a chance of stopping them are the rumpled, endearingly flawed E. L. Pender and Dr. Irene Cogan, a brilliant psychiatrist who loves Lily almost as much as she fears Maxwell. With the aid of a private investigator, Pender and Cogan take on a pair of killers who win hearts as easily as they slit throats. A sexually charged thriller of undeniable originality and page-turning suspense, When She Was Bad moves at a rapid clip from the inner recesses of two twisted psyches to a terrifying climax and brilliantly realized finale. Emotionally taut and difficult to put down, this tale of sex, romance, madness, and murder will not disappoint. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
