Elizabeth finds her husband Sven murdered in their home in Los Angeles and a Pentagram is drawn on the wall in his own blood. Elizabeth has to cope with his violent death and this is her tale. Night of the Pentagram is a thriller with a WOW! factor.
This is a good book and I enjoyed reading it. There is a good range of diverse characters and the story has a steady pace. From the start you have your suspicions about peoples' motives and who may not be telling the truth. Character development is good and you get carried away with the story. Then your head begins to spin as some things do not appear to add up. Suddenly you get to the end and you think WOW! - that was clever. Then all the little bits add up and you understand Elizabeth's tale apart from the goat!
Barrymore Tebbs has put a lot of thought into the structure of this novel. It has a very clever plot that makes you wonder all the way to the end. Then you think, ah! I missed that clue didn't I. What you have not missed is a very good novel that really makes you think and wonder at the end. It is an entertaining read that gives pleasure even if you were expecting a regular crime thriller. It is one of those books that retain a resonance in your head when you have finished it. Therefore I am going to vote it the top score of 5 stars.
