This novel defines what 'Suspense' is all about.

Every time I sit down with one of Thomas Perry's Jane Whitefield novels I always forget to set aside enough time to finish it in one reading. THE FACE-CHANGERS is the rule to any exception. From the gripping beginning to the chilling ending Perry deftly builds the tension and the characterization of the players like Mozart writing music. What's facinating about the Whitefield books is the Native American rationalization of Jane, the woman who 'hides' people from the danger they've usually created for themselves. She's always failed to voice the reality that she does what she does for 'good'. But in FACE-CHANGERS it becomes sparklingly clear that just that is her motivation. As Jane dreams about the death of her father, there is the juxtaposition of her own husband being in danger, and the reader wonders if she will recognize it in time to save herself, as well the many lives in jeopardy around her. This may well be the last tale in as fine a thriller series as any on the shelves today...but that's what I thought about the last Jane Whitefield novel. This Perry novel deserves bestseller status. If you like suspense, do yourself a favor; read it, then tell all your friends.

Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding!!!!

Please Mr. Perry don't let Jane retire, not yet. I can't get enough. I became a fan when I just happened upon "Vanishing Act" the first Jane Whitefield novel. I quickly read and then went in search of anything else I could get my hands on. I was lucky enough to read Dance of the Dead and Shadow Woman in quick succession. Then I had to wait several months for "The Face Changers". Most books leave you feeling "tired of them" after you've read about the same character, but Thomas Perry is a master at giving you just enough to make you want more and more. I am now in search of all of his early works - again, please Mr. Perry don't stop now.

Thank you, thank you.

Good but not as great as the past three

Don't get me wrong, I'm an absolute Perry fan, first picking up Vansihing Act in Buffalo where I went to school and where he's from. I was terrified when I thought it was going to end with Jane's marriage to her good doctor Carey and I was elated to find out about The Face-Changers, I even rushed out and bought it hardcover, full price. The beginning was a little stilted, a little too pat and the overall threat to Jane, Carey and their way of life by helping his mentor too neatly resolved. I felt that Shadow Woman really got a hold of what it meant that oppotunistic hunters and hiders were getting wise to Jane's work and that this novel would take it to another level. There was a little scrimping on the depth of the villains here, in previous books we got to see how Jane was found out and how she had to double cross her own tracks. Her tricks here are still good and inventive to the point where I did believe her hiding of the wanted doctor and the gullible Janet but it lagged soemwhere in the tension that is generally much more taunt.

A page turner very good book.

I liked this book so much I went back and read most of Mr. Perry's other books which I enjoyed very much. A real page turner one I would recommend to anyone.

unique heroine pulls the story along

This is the first book I have read by Thomas Perry. While the dialog was somewhat rigid, I enjoyed Jane Whitefield's thought processes and her dream flashbacks to her indian heritage. The husband-wife relationship did not feel right. It was too clinical and didn't "hurt" enough. This book was enjoyable, however, and I plan to read his other books.
