Reviews

Goodreads review by Anastasia on October 17, 2024

Night of the Juggler by William P. McGivern tells of the manhunt for a psycho killer after the kidnapping of an ex-soldiers daughter. I was expecting something better and thought this rather ordinary. A lot of killing, little suspense and a confusing cast of characters.......more
