Memories Of Midnight..

Well i do want to keep this short.., but i dont think id succeed..

Set in the late 1940s right after WWII, Catherine, wife of pilot Larry regains her memory. She remembers how cruel Larry was to her and how he jilted her for his mistress, Noelle Page. Indeed, Noelle was the kept mistress of one Constantin Demiris who was written to sound like an Adolf Hitler. Demiris, like a magician can make those in his disfavor disappear. Exit Larry and Noelle in the first installment.

In this book, Catherine, the long-lost heroine is restored to glory and is swept off her feet by a man who is loosely based on the cliche Cavalry men.

A psychiatrist and an eclectic mix of patients are thrown into this story; just how they are directly tied into the main plot has never been addressed. One character who is clearly written as an autistic savant displays some of the more prominent autistic behaviors. He is echolalic; he recites long chains of information and he knows the number and type of vehicles he passes in route to the doctor's office. His activities are solitary and few; he does not voluntarily interact with others.

This book does not really contain much of a mystery. It's justpeople getting even with each other. Even good old Demiris' wife Melina enters this story after having been relegated to shadow figure status in the original. . An attorney who was directly involved in a trial engineered by Demiris re-enters the picture. Some fancy manuevering, and he runs away with the show. Literally!!!!!


And when i say that.., i mean it...
