Summary: Move Over Thomas Harris, the Real Master is Here!
Comment: Andrew Harper knows how to write suspense. He does so with the skill of a pro. Reading a Harper novel is like watching a great, intense movie. You can't help the nail-biting, the sweaty palms and the palpitating heart.
Red Angel picks up a year or so after the events of Harper's first novel, Bad Karma. This time, psychologist Trey, who works at Darden State Prison, is going back to work even though he is still haunted by the events of his past. But that will be the least of his worries the moment he steps foot inside the prison.
There just happens to be a murderer on the loose, who abducts young children, murders them and then leaves their body disguised as angels. When the killer, who somehow seems connected to one of Darden's inmates, takes the son of Elise, another woman who works for the prison, Trey will be thrown into of yet another nightmare.
The book moves along with the speed of a bullet. The action is more intense as anything you will read this year. There isn't a dull moment in Red Angel, let alone a few pauses to let the reader breathe a little. Do not pick up this book if you do not want to finish it in one sitting. It is that good.
I had a blast reading Red Angel. This book is actually as good as what Thomas Harris has written. This is a great thrill ride you won't soon forget, guaranteed!

Summary: Book of Thrill
Comment: Trey has to capture the killer and he might have to get a psychopathic murderer to catch the killer who is taking his victims one by one on a quick basis. This story is a thriller that you won't beable to put down once you pick it up. So if you need a murder story that keeps you guesing what's going to happen next, you need to pick up RED ANGEL, by Andrew Harper.
Rating: 2
Summary: Minority Report
Comment: Looks like I'm the minority opinion on this book. Yes, the book is a quick read, but that has more to do with the large print and 75 chapters in a 358 page book that make it closer to a 240 page adult fiction novel with a higher line count per page and fewer chapters creating blank space. For this book, less results in less. The plot is a familiar one. A psychopath is kidnapping and murdering children. A psychopath in a mental institution is somehow connected, and holds the information needed to find and stop the other before he kills his next victim. Trying to prevent the next murder, are several police characters, and two employees at the mental institution, one previously attacked by a different psychopath, and the other the mother of the next victim. There are many similarities between this novel and Silence of the Lambs, but in every respect this novel compares unfavorably. The characterizations are not that good to begin with, but the small page count combined with a larger cast of characters than needed doesn't help. Too many pages are devoted to characters that just don't add that much to the story. The book also spends a lot of time on exposition and then basically tosses it to accomodate the plot. There are numerous pages devoted to the safeguards in the mental institution, especially regarding the six most dangerous inmates, but when one of the doctors needs to get an inmate out, it's done with ridiculous ease. There are many things in the story regarding the connection between the two psychopaths that are never explained and the ending has a fairly high huh factor. Even Hannibal, the disappointing sequel to Silence of the Lambs, is miles ahead of this one.
