I like thrillers. All kinds of thrillers. I just enjoy the scare and the satisfaction of the villien's capture. The world is a frightening place. Getting a scare from a book helps keep the real horror of the world at bay. It pulls the teeth of real badness just enough to let me cope. This book covers two continents and a lot of time. I would like to see the person who is using a fiction to scare the heroine.
