Review Summary: WALLFLOWER
Review: I loved this book. I'm a big fan of mystery and suspence.It's been a few years since I have read this book and I still recommend it to family and friends. I found myself not being able to put it down as if I would miss out on something. This is a type of book that u get lost in it, you feel like you are there. You will find your heart racing yet maybe shed a tear. Highly recommended.

Review Summary: Good Police Thriller
Review: I think this is one of the better police thrilers of the time period. He defiantly has a good one here also. He just produces wonderful character driven stories that when they work (and this one does), they really grab you. The tension is there though out the full book. The story is very developed so much so that you see the crime sceens. Another thing about his books is that they do not play to the lowest common denominator for action books; he gives the reader some respect and expects an IQ over 70. A good book that is worth the time.

Review Summary: A good read about a great cop.
Review: I don't normally read police procedurals but this one is an exception. "Wallflower" is by far the best of the Janek novels. It also has the least amount of sex in it of the three. If Bayer had left the better part of the sex to the reader's imagination in all three novels he would have done even better. This is a great read, especially for those who would profer to avoid Ed McBain and/or Joseph Wambaugh but would still like some balance in their mystery reading. If you enjoy the Janek novels as I have you will also enjoy the seven movies based on these books.

Review Summary: Wallflower
Review: Possibly the worst book I have ever read. Certainly one of the top 10 worst books I have ever read. The author fell over himself to fill the pages with words. The characters were unbelievable and the story line ridiculous. Do not waste your time.

Review Summary: One of my favorites
Review: I borrowed this book from a friend in high school and never returned it. Now it's almost 10 years later and I've read it about 15 times. Wallflower is probably one of the best books I've ever read. It may seem a little involved and a bit farfetched, but it is fiction... This is a must-read for anyone who likes murder mysteries, especially psychological murder mysteries.
