(Reviewer - Narayan Radhakrishnan)
2003 Little, Brown & Co.
ISBN: 0316381209

A chilling story of three women at the edge of terror as a past they all share is exhumed & turned against them.

Sr. Associate Reviewer Narayan Radhakrishnan writes:

After the stupendous success of her debut work, Equivocal Death, Amy Gutman returns in superb style.

The Anniversary is a story of three women who had once been involved with a psychopath killer Steven Gage -- one lady was the psychopath's girlfriend, another his attorney & the third was an author who attained bestseller status on writing a true-crime story about his trial.

Each woman has gone on with her life -- but Gage's evil legacy rears up five years after his death -- each woman gets a personal letter threatening more murders, more terror & more... What follows is tense action with the trio against an unknown enemy, a force of pure evil.

The Anniversary provides an exciting read. Combining the realistic terror of Psycho II (I mean the book version by Robert Bloch) & whydunit suspense thrill of the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer.

The Anniversary sure is gonna chill your bones. It's a fast & well-paced read with all the thrills & chills horror-lovers love. Enjoyed it, highly recommended.
