Books like Tap, Tap

It's books like this that first interested me in becoming a writer myself. Not a "literary novel" by any means, "Tap,Tap" is a tightly-plotted suspense novel with eccentric humor and genuine edge-of-your-seat chills (the type of book at which David Martin is a master). I read it when it was first published in 1994 and re-read it recently to find that all of the original chills and disturbing plot twists remained just as effective. There's a perfunctory B-movie epilogue that weakens the novel's closing, but otherwise "Tap,Tap" is the perfect genre novel--one that I wish I had written myself!
