A first class psychological thrill- fast paced readablity-very cleverly plotted. The more we learn about Aaron Stample, the more the plot twisted until you don't what is real and Aaron wants to believed himself.

Wow, what a bone-chilling story; couldn't put it down. The ending will freak you out! If you like this book, you'll love "Show of Evil", the sequel to this book.

This is the very first Martin Vail mystery. It's a blockbuster--it would make one heck of a movie. Great characters, strong plotting, and some serious twisting of the tale! If you like this one, be prepared to seek out the follow-ups. 5 stars for sure.

A dark and twisting psychological drama. I could not put the book down. The battles in the courtroom were terrific. I read it in less than two days. I didn't see the ending coming and it left me stunned. Primal Fear has been around for a while, but it's a great read. Highly recommended.

One of the most suspenseful and chilling novels I've ever read. And the movie with Richard Gere as Martin Vail and Edward Norton as Aaron Stampler was a first class psychological thriller. Their performances in the movie were superb. I had never read anything by William Diehl before, but I am anxious to read more of his books.
