A review by kjcharles
The Adept by Katherine Kurtz, Deborah Turner Harris

I wanted Dennis Wheatley but not rancid, which is pretty much what I got in this occult thriller, but sadly the Wheatley qualities extended to the writing as well as the plot. Flat characters and sadly predictable (e.g. the climax is set next to Loch Ness and you will never guess what happens to the baddies). Also, one day Americans will stop trying to render Scottish speech phonetically and the world will be a slightly less irritating place.

Hey ho, my search for a really satisfying occult thriller continues.
