False Prophet

By: Faye Kellerman

Narrated by: Mitchell Greenberg

LAPD Detective Peter Decker doesn’t know quite what to make of Lilah Brecht. The beautiful, eccentric spa owner and daughter of a faded Hollywood legend, Lilah was beaten, robbed, and raped in her own home—and claims to have psychic powers that enable her to see even more devastating events looming on the horizon. With his heart and mind on his pregnant young wife, Rina Lazarus, at home, Peter finds it hard to put much credence in the victim’s outrageous claims, or to become too deeply involved with her equally odd brothers and aging film star mom. But when Lilah’s dark visions turn frighteningly real, Decker’s world will be severely rocked—as the “false prophet’s” secrets and obsessions entrap the dedicated policeman . . . and point a killer toward Decker’s own vulnerable family.

Like the characters

Please the morose music is annoying. This was okay but a stretch. The others in this series were better. I do like the reader. I will move forward to the next in the series, last chance!

Good book, lazy ending

Satisfactorily intriguing but the story ends as though the author (one of my favorites) responded to her own dinner bell : I’ll be there in a minute, I’ve put enough time into this ... the mystery here is, in fact, how can this mess be unraveled and resolved in a way that assures some appropriate exposure and punishment for the bad (at least the worst) and some degree of recovery and path to survival for the used and abused - and no answer is provided

Average book

Finally the culprit is not revealed in the middle of the book. UR able to do some guess work. But still no detective work is present. Just thorough investigation.

Least Favorite

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I think tbis is an earlier book and I didnt enjoy the sexual content and language just didnt think it was necessary and found the story not up to the quality of others I have read and enjoyed

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No

Any additional comments?

Going to continue reading others oldest to newest

Great books

I'm hooked - cant wait to start the next book. I feel like I know all these characters personally.
