Explanation In Favor Of Books The Flower Man
Part-time actress and full-time mother Britt Hinson thought that most of her life's drama was confined to the stage. Then a threatening presence entered her world, a mysterious stranger that no one but her pretty nine-year-old, Katie, had seen. Katie calls him the Flower Man, and Britt and her husband, Mark, don't know whether to believe the child's bizarre tales of the notes and flowers he's left her-- lilies, forget-me-nots, a black rose. But Britt's fears intensify when, with his threatening phone calls and aggressive prowling of their home, the Flower Man draws her into a fight for her daughter's life. The Hinsons become a family under siege. And Britt knows a mother's love won't be enough to protect Katie from harm.....With gripping realism, THE FLOWER MAN pits a parent's love, a child's honesty, and a family's security against the desperate acts of a relentless stalker.

Anders serves up a botched mess about as suspenseful as a pedicure. In a way the most disappointing thing about this book is that child stalking is an extremely timely, inherently terrifying topic. It's a shame to see it mishandled so completely. Ms. Anders little-girl-victim is nothing more than a hair color (blonde, natch) and a series of whining complaints. And the villain is not a character, but a hook on which to hang incidents. Anders objectifies the girl more than the novel's stalkerAnders serves up a botched mess about as suspenseful as a pedicure.

This was a pretty good book. It didnt disclose who the flower man was til the end of the book and while he was one of the people I suspected it to be I wasnt sure who it was either. The book was interesting enough to keep my interest I will definitely read more books by this author. Sadly I will probably be the last person to read this book since it has been read by so many other people the cover fell off as I was reading it and the pages came out but I would definitely recommend it.
Sometimes those free paperbacks from the library don't deserve to go back into circulation.
Donna Anders was in her early twenties when she made her first sale, a poem she sold to a children's magazine for $1.00. From those early years of writing juvenile poems and stories, to historical novels that balanced her life through some hard times, to suspense thrillers when she wrote about terror from her own experiences, Donna became a writer for life.
