Silent Witness
'Point Horror' books can often be higher on promise than delivery: this isn't horror, and the realism and drama of the covers package something much more staid and conventional . . . which is all part of the appeal. Here we have a good suspense story, using all the devices of the genre to unsettle the main character and the reader - mysterious phone calls, lights failing, the girl walking and then at home alone, and the secret on the video tape. Film and television watchers know all about this and will enjoy the print version.
