I'm a big fan of Robert Bloch but must admit this book (the last he published before his death) is not his best. It's a bit of a mess, honestly. He can't seem to decide if it's a crime thriller or supernatural adventure. Characters appear apropos of nothing and then disappear just as quickly. The surprise reveal is not even remotely surprising. Too bad-I had high hopes. Three stars for the man himself, but the book will be quickly--and justifiably--forgotten.
