Summary: A gritty, but compelling tale
Comment: In her work as a forensic psychologist, Dr. Sylvia Strange has had to deal with a lot of people with severe mental illness and depraved minds. When she is called into evaluate Lucas Wilson for parole she is definitely against it. He demonstrates a high level of paranoia and delusion. There is political pressure on her as Lucas is the son of an ambitious politician who already has a skeleton from the past in the form of his wife's apparent suicide.
When Lucas escapes from jail during a riot, he does not want to run away to another state or country, but pursue Sylvia who has become an object of obsession. Prison officials are also concerned about someone the other inmates have dubbed "the jackal" who is making off with body parts of those both dead and alive.
This is the first in a series Sylvia Strange novels. The protagonist is strong and intelligent, but still realistic in the fact she carries around emotional baggage from the past and is shown "warts and all". The secondary characters are well developed and add greatly to the texture and depth of the story. The vivid descriptions are grisly and graphic, but suit the subject matter. The author takes you on a roller coaster ride that keeps you holding on until the last page. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series in the very near future.

Summary: Too Good to Put Down!
Comment: I had never heard of this author before, and came across "Dangerous Attachments" in a used book store. The book will keep you reading non-stop until the very end. Sarah Lovett ranks at the very top of the list of super writers, such as James Patterson and Jonathan Kellerman. If you like serial murders, thrown in with a good liberal dose of criminal psychology, and an "on the edge of your seat" ending, you will love this book. Having studied criminal psychology, there was one particular segment of the book that seemed out of character. After Merry Maids cleaned up Sylvia's house it mentions that the service left the keys to the new door lock in the mailbox. If one was being stalked and your house was broken into, it is highly unlikely, anyone with any smarts at all would have a service leave "your new keys" in the mailbox when someone could be watching your home and all activity going on. Overall, it was still a great book.

Summary: BAD!
Comment: I discovered Sarah Lovett in a local bookstore and thought I might try her out! BIG MISTAKE! Boring plot, bad characters, and it could have been a lot shorter! Hopefully her next books are better!
