Note: I'm copy/pasting my reviews from the individual product pages here for those that only read them in the box set.--DisintegrationIts difficult to write a review of Disintegration without giving significant chunks of the plot away. I will say, however, that Nicholson's self-proclaimed "mystery thriller" is far more than that. It is a deep dive into the human psyche. He writes the story from a depth many of us shudder to consider. Sure, the good/evil twin dynamic is there. Sure, the Wells family is clearly corrupted from their own wealth. But its the acts of human depravity that made me cringe and continue reading. All the way up to the last click of my Kindle I thought the characters could not be more despicable. And I was wrong.This book will have you squirming in your seat and will send you scrambling for more Nicholson.--Crime BeatI found this sandwiched between two novels in the Mystery Dance and found it to be good fun. I could almost hear the gruff voice of the beat reporter telling the story. No big surprises but still entertaining.--The Skull RingI prefer to read authors instead of books. If I find one I like, I'll tend to read the entire catalog by that writer. Nicholson is in that camp for me and I continue to pick up his works. The Skull Ring is a fantastic (although a bit dated; Satanism) "individual vs. world conspiracy" story. Nicholson does a masterful job at keeping you guessing right up to the end. Is the handyman in on it? Is the boyfriend in on it? Is the therapist in on it? I had fun looking for the answers.For those that need a complete ending without a lot of loose ends, The Skull Ring will satisfy.Very entertaining read!
