The Rhythm of Revenge : The First in the series presents twenty two year old Jessica Warner who is thought by many to be a spoiled brat, however few of the people who think they know her are aware that the young woman carries a heavy burden from her childhood. It is a burden not easy to bear at this or any age. Evocative of the ‘rough around the edges’ Eve Dallas gracing the pages of Holiday in Death by J. D. Robb, Jessica Warner moves through the pages of Christine Spindler’s first in the "Inspector Terry Series." The reader is drawn into the tale from the opening pages and is held in Jessica’s grasp as tightly as she holds the characters appearing with her in the book. This inaugural mystery by writer Christine Spindler is a ‘can’t put it down’ read. The torment felt by Jessica is manifest from the opening pages and the maddened behavior of her antagonist almost overwhelms the reader. Jessica’s husband’s desperate need to find and rescue her is something we who also care for another can quickly recognize. The interwoven personal issues played out between the characters lead the reader on a merry chase to discover just who this antagonist may be. Inspector Terry uses his master sleuthing ability to sort out the mystery surrounding Jessica’s disappearance. The complex thriller by this young German native gives the reader a view of the human situation at it worst and best. Her vivid account draws the reader into the tale from the opening page. Here is another writer with a clear comprehension of the obsessive mien manifesting itself in a seemingly benign personage. Writer Spindler uses her expertise to present characters so threatening in her antagonists that the reader feels compelled to get up and check to be sure all the doors are locked. From the long suffering husband, to the various members of the dance troupe and Inspector Terry himself, Spindler’s characters are innovative, believable and well thought out. Following on the heels of The Rhythm of Revenge is the next in the series Faces of Fear in which writer Spindler again addresses another delicate situation. On the pages of Faces of FearPatricia Miles feels she is trapped in a loveless marriage. Her husband Danny seems to have little to no concern in life other than his penchant for astronomy. Danny Mile's fascination for all things planetary together with his almost total aloofness from Trish are causing her troublesome distress. Trish faces her problems and seeks answers in like manner as many are wont to do. Her lonesomeness serves to drive Trish into a relationship with former college professor. Her obsessed fear of butterflies causes Trish to seek the services of Dr. Joy Canova. Unacquainted with the fact that more than one of Dr. Canova's patients have fallen victim to an unstable murderer Trish; continues her treatment. As bodies once again begin appearing, Inspector Terry is called to take charge of the case. The narrative is a nicely developed blend filled with appealing people who are as besieged with the warts and bumps that shape us all as individuals. Spindler’s handling of delicate matters is wrought in subtility and delicacy. Each of German born Christine Spindler's characters is realistic, and is easy to like, or to at least extend compassion with for their quandary of life. Suggestive of the drama found in 'Since All Is Passing' by Elizabeth Delisi and filled with the passion offered by Iris Leach in 'No Good Without You' FACES OF FEAR is a 'keep you turning the page' read. Spindler's skillfulness for setting down interaction that takes place between people and her persuasive account draw the reader right into the anecdote. Readers are presented peeks inside the mind of a deranged or otherwise terrifying individuals. As in Charlotte Lacey’s first mystery thriller ‘Traitorous Intent,’ the reader soon discovers how abruptly besotted idolization becomes equally obsessed and filled senseless hostility and the need for seeking revenge. Writer Spindler has many more Inspector Terry mysteries in mind.  |
