Review

RETRIBUTION is a fascinating work of psychological suspense that grips the audience from start to finish. ... This is great work from an author who will soon be recognized as the dean of psychological horror thrillers.
-- Harriet Klausen

"Call them "beach reads" or "guilty pleasures"--you can't call them literary classisc--but you can enjoy them. Accurately described as "terror and supernatural suspense," they serve up the blens of suspense, sex, phychos, and betrayal that keeps readers coming back for more. They're perfect plane books; no matter how the grandmother from Des Moines next to you chatters on about her ailments, you can't loose the thread of the plot.

Elizabeth Forrest is an old hand at this sub-genre with six bestsellers to her credit. Her fans and those discovering her for the first time won't be disappointed with RETRIBUTION. It's got everything readers have come to expect: a frail, imperiled heroine, a rugged love interest, a touch of the paranormal, and a seemingly normal nutcase out to get the loving couple.

It's undeniable entertainment. It's also undeniably not a mind-stretcher. But isn't that sometimes just what you're looking for? A good, rapid-fire read that grips your attention until the last page. After volumes of hard SF and wild experiments, it's nice to just sit down and simply devour a book.
