Customer Reviews

Didn't want to put it down

This book is very exciting. I didn't want to put it down and kept picking it up to read at any chance I had. Although you may think that you know where it is heading starts off, the author doesn't follow convention. The result is a very interesting and exciting book.

Best-written edge-of-seat novel of 2001

Where has Stephanie Kane been all of my reading life? In Quiet Time, her second book, she establishes herself without question as a master of the psychological thriller. It's replete with believable characters (normal people, killers, lawyers, cops are all drawn with a fine touch, like those Persian artists who use a one-hair brush to bring every nunance to the surface), a plot that will draw you in from the prologue and keep you riveted to the final page, and superb writing talent. I have purchased five copies for family and friends so far, and all of them thank me and enthusiastically recommend the book to others. Read it, and you'll thank me -- and Stephanie Kane -- too.

A Compelling Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read Blind Spot and liked Quiet time even more. Stephanie Kane is the type of writer who knows as much about human nature as she seems to know about the law. Blind Spot is original and compelling. You should read it.

Kane has made it to the top of our reading list.

Someone in our office reading group suggested Quiet Time and we all are so glad that she did! This story has everything a mystery/thriller fan hopes for... and it is written in such an intelligent, engaging manner. We highly recommend this book. Stephanie Kane has made it to the top of our reading list. Can't wait for more.

Could Be You

Starting with a brutal murder in the prologue, Quiet Time has an edgy feel that keeps you slightly off center until the exciting conclusion. The creepy mystery has dark characters who keep a lifetime of secrets from one another. Stephanie Kane tells a most interesting tale that could happen anywhere to anyone whose family doesn't talk. Quiet Time challenges your mind and tugs your emotions at the same time.
