Reviews: "5+ Stars - Suspense better than Hitchcock!"

"In Suzanne Forster's The Arrangement, no detail is gratuitous. Every character, whether primary or secondary, has a role to play in a carefully prepared and unfolding nexus of suspense. Beyond the literary and stylistic perfection of this novel, The Arrangement strikes the heart of suspense fans with familiar echoes in a new chord. Take my favorite two Alfred Hitchcock movies, my favorite Daphne DuMaurier novel and add just a tiny twist of my favorite Nathaniel Hawthorne short story...mix it around and add more, transform it and you have Suzanne Forster's The Arrangement --- and yet Forster's novel is so much better than any of those mentioned above! Seen together with these classics, the genius of Forster's writing becomes even more apparent. Her transformation of familiar themes into a story entirely new is as satisfying as the suspense!

In comparison to lesser suspense writers who substitute gore, violence and sex for suspense, this novel needs no substitution or addition to thrill suspense fans. Now, there are definitely murders here, a kinky scene (which absolutely must be there for the perfect & satisfying resolution) and definitely some disturbed people, but this novel is true suspense at its best. Each detail is carefully prepared, each character's secrets add to the heightening suspense, no detour is superfluous but rather adds to the vision of the disturbed world. The carefully prepared trails twist and turn to the perfect resolution. Magnificent! "

"I am absolutely stunned by how great THE ARRANGEMENT is. Not that I didn't know Suzanne Forster was a great writer, but this book is just so great I could go on and on about it for hours... THE ARRANGEMENT is a must read for readers of all genres! Alison and Andrew are strong and brave, and I absolutely love the depth that Suzanne Forster gave to these characters. I fell in love with them and this entire story! I was kept on the edge of my seat, not once putting this book down until I had read every last word. Flawless, fabulous, wonderful—those are all words that I would use to describe this book. Ms. Forster, my hat goes off to you!"

"...exhilarating Hitchcockian noir … nothing is quite what it seems, although everything is in plain sight … a gripping well-written dark thriller."

Suspense fans will not want to miss Suzanne Forster’s latest page-turner! Well-written, engrossing and nerve-wracking, The Arrangement is a cracking good read!"

"The Arrangement is loaded with twists and turns, in-depth characters and suspense at every corner. Just when I thought I had figured out the suspect, another twist came into play, once again tripping me up. Allison really plays hardball in this intriguing story, while Andrew and Tony are not far behind with their non-stop actions. There are a string of characters that really enhance this tale. Suzanne Forster cleverly pens a well-thought out plot, a sensational cast, and hold-on-to-your-seat drama in this extraordinary read. This is one adrenaline rush that should not be missed, which garners five cups in this believable roller-coaster ride."

"This book was a page turner for sure. I was amazed at all the twists and turns that Suzanne Forster came up with until we reached the conclusion of this fascinating romantic suspense. I had a hard time putting this book down for even a second and anxiously read until I discovered the completely satisfying ending. Wow, what a read this was!!"
~ Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews

"Gripping and intense, THE ARRANGEMENT grabs the reader from the opening page and never lets go. The twists and turns in the plot will keep the reader guessing and suspecting nearly everyone, including Alison herself. The plot driven story is filled with a cast of meticulously crafted characters, and Alison’s mother and brother take the “dysfunctional family" to a whole new level. Andrew appears to be the hero on the surface, but is he really? Just how much and who will be sacrificed to clear his own name? And who is Alison really? Secrets abound and no one is to be trusted. With a multi-million dollar trust involved, no one is safe, and Alison, with her faulty memory, is walking a very dangerous path.

Spine tingling and chilling, THE ARRANGEMENT is one of Ms. Forster’s best books ever. Fast, suspenseful, and with a touch of romance, this book has everything and well deserves RRT’s Perfect 10."
