Library Journal
The three women featured in this latest work from the Shamus Award-winning Prozini (In an Evil Time) have lost the men in their lives through death, desertion, or disappearance (he met one at a party and then mysteriously dropped her). To their horror, they discover that these men are the same person. Using different identities across the United States and Canada, "the Alias Man" has seduced and married several women, lived with each for three to four years, and then left her heartbroken and missing her life savings or inheritance. The book's appeal lies in the examination of each woman's devastation at her loss, her horror at gradually learning the truth, and the ultimate strength she finds as she bonds with the other women. But this is not really a suspense novel; the women never seem to be in danger, and there is never any real doubt about the outcome. Still, the author's many fans may want to read it all the same. Buy for demand. [Pronzini is married to Marcia Muller, whose new Sharon McCone mystery, The Dangerous Hour, is reviewed on p. 106.-Ed.]-Kim Uden Rutter, Lake Villa Dist.
