I don't know. If you google it, it seems to be a not very well kept secret, but apparently he still says it's not him. Most reviewers seem to think it is, though. Who knows?

Just started rereading "Legacies" by F. Paul Wilson, the second book in the "Repairman Jack" series. The best Adventure/Fantasy/Horror/Mystery/Sci-Fi/Thriller series ever written. Read them. NOW.
Also just starting "The Whisperers" by John Connolly, the latest book in the Charlie Parker series. Noir Mystery/Supernatural Thrillers.

Excellent serial killer thriller read - although I preferred my (erroneous) choice for the killer! Very well written.
Bought a copy of this following your recommendation.
Read it on my Sony many thanks to some clever people (you know who you are)

Just finished it & thoroughly enjoyed it. Though it was a little slow in parts, overall it was a good read. I guess 4stars

- spotted the killer before the end - who was your choice - in spoiler tags of course!

I love this kind of books and remember buying one or two in the used books booths along the Seine when I was a student. This one is delightfully funny, naive and old-fashioned, and the main character is very lovable (although a bit too naive sometimes, but she's smart too. And I guess naive was something a young woman was supposed to be in these days. She is also, of course, very virtuous and constantly escaping from the paws of mean men trying to attempt to her virtue, or virtuous men wanting to marry her. I think I know which one will get her in the end).
Finished both books yesterday, and I'm now reading The High Window by Raymond Chandler. I have a fond memory of this one because it was (I think) the first I read from him.

I am reading the National Geographic too. Love Zinio!

Just finished 'Relentless Pursuit' by Donna Foote. It's an interesting look at the whole Teach for America phenom and follows four newbies through their first year.

Also trying to finish 'Call of the Mall' by Paco Underhill. I loved 'Why We Buy' but this one is not as good as his smarmy tone is grating a little.

I am trying to finish all my unread Fictionwise books; I really want to be done with that company. The whole way things ended up with them has left a really bad taste in my mouth and I want to enjoy and finish my books, then be done.

I finished "The Tomb" and am about 3/4 finished with "The Legacies". Love, love, love Repairman Jack. F Paul Wilson makes these characters become real people for me.

Glad you enjoyed it! A "fun" fast read. I think I've read so many of these thrillers, I tend to "over-think" when I pick who done it.

Spoiler:
I was sure it was the wife! She was SO unsympathetic - and odd! And then I was sure it was the cop. I always suspect the cop when a book features a villain always one step ahead of pursuit.


Hope this is the first of a series!

Ok... Now here's something *I* never run into before.

On Amazon, "The Tomb" is Not Available in the United States for the Kindle.

I had 3 pbooks in the series already, so I purchased the rest in pbook. Not as comfortable reading pbooks again after using my Sony 505, but I had a gift certificate and decided to use it to finish out the series in pbook. F Paul Wilson does have some stories on smashwords.
