Ilustration Supposing Books Nightlife
Thomas Perry’s novels of suspense have been celebrated for their “dazzling ingenuity” (The New York Times Book Review) and for writing that is “as sharp as a sushi knife” (Los Angeles Times). By turns horrifying and erotic, Perry’s new thriller takes us on a dangerous cat-and-mouse game that pits two women against each other: a beautiful serial killer and the detective who is determined to stop her.When the cousin of Los Angeles underworld figure Hugo Poole is found shot to death in his Portland, Oregon, home, police find nothing at the scene of the crime except several long strands of blond hair hinting that a second victim may have been involved. Hotel security tapes from the victim’s last vacation reveal an out-of-focus picture of a young blond woman entering and leaving his room. Could she also be a murder victim?
Portland homicide detective Catherine Hobbes is determined to solve the case and locate the missing blonde, but her feelings, and the investigation, are complicated when Hugo hires private detective Joe Pitt to perform a parallel investigation. As Joe and Catherine form an uneasy alliance, the murder count rises–and both realize that the pretty young woman in the security tapes is not a victim at all.
As Catherine follows the evidence, she finds herself in a deadly contest with an unpredictable adversary capable of changing her appearance and identity at will. Catherine must use everything she knows, as a homicide detective and as a woman, to stop a murderer who kills on impulse and with ease, and who becomes more efficient and elusive with each crime.

Sgt. Catherine Hobbs a Portland Oregon Detective gets the case of what is probably murder, but there is a near total absence of clues with which to work. L. A. P.I. Joe Pitt is hired by a relative of the victim to identify the killer and travels to Portland and is passed on to Hobbs to find out what she has discovered. Meanwhile the killer has moved on and changed identities and picked up another victim. Hobbs soon discovers that she has a serial killer on her hands and is hot on the trail, butThis is a an unusual story line from my reading experiences. Two women in a duel ofwits took me by surprise.... a plesant one. The opening is well crafted and sets a complicated scenario of characters and events. This story will give all male readers a jolt about the world we live in.
Excellence once again!!This one I read page after page without wanting sleep. It held my interest with every word. Great characters and excitement galore!!!!💃💫
I loved it! Perfect book for the reader who's looking for fast paced entertainment. Mr. Perry's writing strength is plotting and his characters are fun, too, if you consider serial killers fun, like I do. This isn't a literary masterpiece but it's well done and moves smoothly along. The suspense made me want to peek ahead, but I resisted. The conversations between the killer and her victims fascinated me, so vacant and cookie-cutter. She names emotions in her exchanges but so obviously doesn't
I have read and enjoyed many of Thomas Perry's stories but this one was one of his lesser efforts. Perry's stories often center around brilliant criminals; the antagonist Tanya Starling in this novel came off as rather naive and in the end stupid (or insane?) We read again and again that she just wanted to settle down and live a peaceful life with a man to provide for her. Then she heads to Portland to confront the police officer hunting her?The protagonist, Catherine Hobbes was a well developed
'Night Life' was my first exposure to Thomas Perry and what an introduction it was! 'Night Life' tells the story of a serial killer a little less true to form and very unassuming whose pursued by legacy cop Catherine Hobbs (long standing family history on the force). Eventually the female serial killer turns on Catherine and becomes the hunter with the results truly startling. I loved the way Thomas made the killer change persona's and craft her victims into accomplices before growing tired and
A female serial killer and female detective, Catherine Hobbs, play cat and mouse across the country. Our killer is a master manipulator and changes identities like changing clothes. Well constructed page turner that kept me reading late into the night.
