About Glimpse, The Dinner Guest.
Detective Sargent
and clinical psychologist, Patricia Holmes, has been invited to a murder
mystery dinner party at a small luxury hotel located in Western Australia. The
dinner is a reunion party for the psychologists and psychiatrists who work at
Perth’s largest mental hospital, treating the criminally insane.
But there is an
uninvited guest--a former patient hungry for revenge, a man who will stop at
nothing until he murders the doctor who gave him painful, electroconvulsive
therapy.
Holmes must stop a
frenzied killer on a vicious spree and also save the other guests and staff—or be
the last to survive.
Our Review: there are many strong points
to this fast-paced story of suspense, but also of personal and professional
tragedy. There is always that one patient we failed to cure or, in the event of
no available cure, perhaps one whose case we might have handled differently.
The lead character, Detective Patricia Holmes who also holds a pHd in
psychiatry, is smart and responsible—but also realistic about her own skills as
well as flaws.
The other, perhaps
more important to the reader who might also be a writer, is author King’s
ability to build suspense. It is non-stop action, ending in the inevitable—but
the ride is one you don’t want to miss.
