Synopsis

The new Bates Motel is a tourist attraction, a re-creation of the infamous murder site, and the developers are already counting their profits. But theres a new exhibit that nobody expected: the bloody corpse of a teenage girl crumpled in the front hall, stabbed to death. Among the avalanche of press and publicity is reporter and true-crime book writer Amelia Haines, who is studying the original Psycho killings. To her, the new murders are a golden opportunity; if she can become part of the investigation, perhaps track down the killer herself, then her fame and fortune will be assured. But catching the madman wont be easy: the town is full of suspects, and Amys best informants keep turning up murdered. If she isnt careful, Amelia Haines may become the next permanent guest at the Bates Motel.

I'm willing to give this one more than a 3, which may be what it deserves, because the plot was so implausible and I was so convinced at the beginning that it was going to be like a bad horror movie sequel that the pleasant surprise threw me for a loop. This man took what I was completely sure was a......more

Goodreads review by Lana on October 31, 2020

I loved the first two Psycho novels (particularly the second one) but this was a major disappointment! It has a great opening and one other really scary part but the rest of it is just characters babbling on and on. Suffers from a severe lack of action. Feels like Bloch wrote this one strictly for a......more

Goodreads review by T.C. on October 27, 2016

I was very disappointed in this final installment of a series I have really enjoyed. The "horror" element was practically nonexistent. The thriller and suspense elements were limited as well. This novel came off as much more of a murder mystery than a horror or psychological thriller. It took 3/4 of......more
