From Publishers Weekly Christine Helstrum， killer of her son and his adoptive mother， escapes from an asylum and torments the man whom she widowed， his new wife and son， who find beheaded mice and broken latches in their home. A "comfortably domestic suspense thriller，" said PW ， although the "teasing details lose their terror for readers， who are kept abreast of Christine's whereabouts and plans." Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information， Inc. From School Library Journal A gripping suspense story that's a real page-turner. The insane killer of Alex's first wife and child has escaped and is now stalking Alex， his new wife Sarah， and their son Brian. Their partially renovated old home becomes the scene of many unexplained events as the story races through several encounters with the psychopathic Christine. Some scenes， such as one on a roof， may seem vaguely familiar to readers， and extraneous descriptions seem calculated to fill pages. However， the characters are well developed， and Brian is a particularly likable child. This is a thriller， but it's not comparable to books by Mary Higgins Clark. --Paula Wilde， R. E.
