| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
They were young, popular, the perfect couple -- an all-American boy and a beautiful cheerleader. But the youthful passion that led them to Lookout Point that terrible evening would prove fatal. For Richie Walters the end came swiftly, as death descended upon him in a savage orgy of horrific violence. Elaine Murray would live long enough to learn just how lucky her boyfriend had been ... Two brutal slayings have rocked a stunned city. But the murders are merely the nightmare's beginning, flinging open a terrifying Pandora's box of sordid secrets and dark revelations more deadly than the bloodlust that lives in the rock-hard heart of a killer.

• Page-turner 12 June, 2006
i have read everyone of Philip Margolin's books and Heartstone was the first one that i read. this book is a MUST-READ. I read the whole thing in about 3 hours, i could not put it down once i started.
The ending that you thought would be by the middle of the book takes a different turn TWICE, making you say "What the Hell", but its awesome.
this book is worth it.

• Heartstone 25 October, 2006
A young woman struggles to remember what happened the night two of her fellow classmates were brutally murdered. The only problem is, are these memories fact, or are they manipulated by the hypnotist and overzealous cop who needs her to be the case winner? This was a very fast read and his characters great.

• Just Get Past The Beginning 29 July, 2005
I had this book for a year and could not get past the first few pages. I purchased the book in anticipation of a 4-hour Chicago-California trip and fell asleep on the plane from boredom! The book lay dormant for a year when I grabbed it on the way out the door to (of all places) Jury Duty, the theory being that I could pass it on to some poor soul who was mindlessly sitting in the jury pool room, waiting to be called. The wait to be called dragged on and I forced myself to get past the first chapter. After that, it was a breeze, and I was somewhat put out when I was finally called to sit on a jury! Needless to say, I found the plot compelling and the characters believable. I particularly enjoyed the author's writing style (after the first chapter).

• All Of The Other Reviewers Are Right... 26 February, 2005
...this book is both a gripping, page-turning crime story and a tedious, mind-numbingly dull piece of prose. It literally depends on the section of the book you are in.
Prosecutor Al Caproni has a message brought to him that a drifter named Heartstone wants to see him a about a long-past high profile double murder that he helped to prosecute. The narration then flashes back to the night of the murder and follows the original investigation and prosecution of the case.
At times, this section really drags. A star witness is hypnotized and the reader is forced to wade through pages of probing by the psychologist/hypnotist as he tries to unlock her repressed memories(Skimming is recommended). Margolin introduces too many characters but he ties them together wonderfully in the end. As we come back to the present Margolin delivers and ending that hit me like a kick in the belly. Very powerful. I did not see it coming.
All in all - good job!
