Mister White by John C. Foster

3.0

Say Mister White's name and you may as well sign your own death warrant - and that of your family - as Lewis Edgar found out. His flight from the supernatural murderer is accompanied by many deaths and an ever-widening circle of terror in a tale fast-paced and gruesome from the beginning. Whilst this kept me turning the pages, the start did feel a little jagged and disjointed but soon settled down and became a more absorbing read as the story moved away from the world of espionage and pulled in the family and their attempts to escape from Mister White. I would've liked to have got inside the heads of some of the characters a bit more, especially as they were about to meet their end, one minute they're alive or just about surviving, story switches to another viewpoint and then when you get back to the character, they're dead; that feels a bit of a let down when you care about them. (This prevented me from giving this 4 stars.) However, it was still a very enjoyable read and if ever a 'prequel' is written describing the secret experiments and the scientists involved in Mister White's creation, I would certainly read it.
