Publisher Description
John Lutz is fascinated by the nighttime dangers that await women alone. In THE NIGHT SPIDER, he improvises a new variation on this theme with a thriller about a serial killer who preys upon women living in high-rises. With few visible means of entry, the mysterious stalker kills women while they sleep in their beds behind securely locked doors. Like his namesake, he leaves his victims wrapped in their bed sheets and stabbed repeatedly, having them slowly bleed to death with their mouths frozen in a silent scream. The few clues left on the scene point to a wall-crawling, glass-cutting predator who easily eludes the best minds on the police force. Now a determined detective must stop him–before time runs out for his next victim. "Like Eric Clapton reinventing a familiar blues tune, Lutz, an award-winning master craftsman, takes a tired thriller formula and gives it fresh sizzle." (Booklist)

"This author is a little stuck on a theme in his writing so far. If you can be patient through the first few chapters to differentiate the charactors it improves greatly. Loved the twists and turns of this one."

The Night Spider Listener Reviews

" I knew it!! There were more than one spider. "
— April, 6/18/2013 -
" Very poorly researched. It was not a case where 'suspension of disbelieve' could be called for; it was simply unbelievable. It deserves one star, but I really have to hate a book to do that, and, when you love stories, that happens infrequently. Would not recommend to anyone. "
— Gwendolyn, 5/7/2013 -
" For on the edge of your seat suspense try John Lutz, this man spins a tale like you can't believe. I picked this book up and was caught in the web in the first sentance. "
— Sandie, 4/1/2012 -
" Good plot and creepy villain reminiscent of Koontz. "
— Bill, 2/18/2012 -
" It was a good book, I think it could have been more exciting though, I've read other books, that totally shocked you, but this was still a good book. I liked the romance parts of the book. "
— Tiffany, 2/8/2012 -
" I listened to the audiobookversion: the narrator (Scott Brick) saved the story for me ! "
— Karin, 12/15/2011 -
" Scary & suspenseful. "

" This has been re-released as Night Victims. "
— Eric_W, 3/29/2011 -
" Surprising twist at the end! "
— Robin, 2/23/2011 -
" Personally I would rate this a very weak 3 stars. It should have ended sooner. In fact I thought I was done 100 pages before the book ended. I will say that if you like James Patterson then you would probably like John Lutz. "
— Kay, 2/15/2011 -
" Really enjoyed this book, very exciting and good characters. "
— Scott, 1/9/2011 -

" So far not a bad read.. "
— Shawn, 9/23/2010 -
" All I brought on vacation were Lutz books. I had read a few before and knew I really enjoyed them. This one was no different. "
— Kay, 7/26/2010 -
" It's a little hokey of a title, but not so bad for a mindless mystery read. Nothing special about the language or description of events or people. "
— Marsha, 6/17/2009 -
" Very slow book. A good author but not his best book. "
— Amber, 6/4/2009 -
" Somewhat predictable serial killer mystery, but it has a likable main character and genuine suspense in places. "
— Linda, 3/27/2009 -
" Easy recreational thriller. Read on the plane from NYC to L.A. and couldn't put it down. "
— BBBTerri, 11/6/2008 -
" All the Night Series are the same, but different. They are a good read. "
— Kcduecker, 8/27/2008
