The Night Watcher

De: John Lutz

Narrado por: Scott Brick

From bestselling author John Lutz comes a lightning-paced thriller of a city gripped by a killer's savage reign of terror.

Someone is killing wealthy Manhattanites. One by one, the victims are discovered in luxurious high-rise apartments. Bound, gagged—brutally murdered in the "safety" of their own homes, by someone whose modus operandi is as horrifying as anything NYPD Detectives Ben Stack and Rica Lopez have ever seen.

As Stack and Lopez investigate the cruel deaths, they have no idea that they are being watched from the shadows--observed by a cunning murderer picking up all the clues necessary to stay one step ahead of the police while perfecting a deadly craft. And when a pattern slowly emerges, the detectives realize that the killings aren't the random acts of a maniac, but the personal campaign of someone bent on retribution. . . someone who's been watching closely and knows their case too well.

Someone whose vengeance will burn forever.©2002 John Lutz; (P)2002 Books on Tape, Inc.

boring book

loved the narrator he is one of my favorite's but the story was so boring just didn't have that kind of grab ya that we all look for just wasn't. there you had the ending before it came.....

Good story, well done

Very good story. Holds your interest and moves along well. The ending is a surprise.

Very Good

I like this author. Lots of suspense. Good reader.

Predictable but entertaining

I was able to easily identify the Torcher with about three hours left in this novel but my deduction didn't detract from my listening pleasure. There's was plenty of action in this story and enough misdirection to keep the listener thinking. I personally enjoyed the character development and the relationship between Rica and Stack. I think Lutz created characters that you could empathize with and some that you could easily loathe. When all the loose ends were tied, there were some aspects that strained credulity, but most fiction does. And with Scott Brick doing the reading, it's hard to go wrong. A good listen.

Disappointed

I've loved every one of his novels even though I pretty know what the basic plot is going to be. This one just didn't hold up like the others. I was very disappointed. It went on too long and didn't have the kind of suspense I'm used to with this author.
