New York, NY, U.S.A.: N A L, 1993. Amazon More of a mystery than a horror novel, Dolores Claiborne contains only the briefest glances at the supernatural. The novel presents Stephen King as a writer experimenting with style and narrative, time and perspective. Fans looking for a skin-crawling, page-turning fright or an undead bloodbath will be disappointed, but a patient reader willing to savor King's leisurely study of character and island life will find many rewards. And all of this is not to say that the book is without suspense. The story unfolds in one continuous chapter, told in the first person by the cranky, 65-year-old housekeeper, Dolores, who is explaining to police officers and a stenographer how and why she killed her husband, Joe, 30 years ago. At the same time, in her rambling monologue, she insists that she did not kill her longtime employer, Vera Donovan--notwithstanding what the residents of Little Tall Island may be whispering. Joe was a drinker, and, as Dolores gradually argues, he deserved to die for the horrifying crimes he committed against his family. But Vera, despite her cantankerous disposition as a lady governing her decaying estate with her precise rules about even the most mundane household chore ("Six pins! Remember to use six pins! Don't you let the wind blow my good sheets down to the corner of the yard!"), was a good woman--or at least not an evil one. She was the woman who hired the young Dolores and kept her on even after Dolores got pregnant again. Dolores cleaned and cared for her even as the old matron faded into senility. Dolores Claiborne is a rich novel that recalls the regionalist writing of the turn of the century. It is a fine place for a skeptical newcomer--put off by King's reputation for outright terror--to start. And for fans, it is a book that offers new insights into an author who's an old favorite..

Charlotte is even more discouraged when she finds someone else in town has begun research for the same project.

Fran's best friend, Julia, is a suspect in the murder of Julia's husband, Tyler, a physical fitness buff and dedicated philanderer whose body has been found in the school gym with a 300-pound barbell across his neck. Who would want to kill Tyler, an impassioned philosophy professor (specializing in ethics) and a highly regarded poet? The picturesque campus, bristling with academic rivalries, provides several suspects: the alcoholic teacher whose tenure is endangered by Tyler's review committee; Tyler's current lover, a student who's nowhere to be found; even his seemingly docile wife, who's enraged by Tyler's latest infidelity--and is also in line to receive a fortune in life insurance upon his death. The kindly and gentle police detective investigating the case forms an immediate bond with Fran; working together, they undertake what regrettably proves to be some extremely low-key detection, interrogating several bland personalities residing in the nearly colorless town. - From Publishers Weekly..

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Pocket Books, 1995. Reviewer: A reader from Cambridge, MA - A Tangled Web gives us an extended view into the lives of Stephanie, Sabrina and Garth. The authors continue with the wonderful character development of twins, Stephanie and Sabrina, who switched places in the first novel, Deceptions. This time, we visit the lovely south of France to learn about Stephanie's struggles with amnesia (yes, another soap opera plot, but well-written). The theme again is how strong the bond between twins can be. The romance between Sabrina and Garth, now husband and wife, is Judith Michael's ode to marriage. The children, Penny and Cliff, complete the domestic scene. There is intrigue on the international scale as Stephanie and Max hide from black market hit men and at the more local level in the scientific community as Garth and Sabrina fight to protect Garth's position as a researcher. Worth the read for descriptions of Provence and character sketches of a fictional European elite, A Tangled Web is a good sequel to Deceptions for those who wanted to share more time with Sabrina and Garth..
