Psycho II by Robert Bloch
2.0

First of all, this wasn't a Psycho book. It was a response to a few jerks in a movie audio that wouldn't let Bloch write the sequel film. While it's still a mystery with a twist, its not the greatest or even clearest mystery, the motivations are not really explained very well, and most importantly, he got Norman terribly, terribly wrong.

I just watched the movie sequel, and they kept the essence of Norman intact, and in general, it was a far greater story than this book... because with this book, they messed everything up in the worst way.

As a book on it's own, its mediocre at best. It's like Bloch was so angry at the movie studio for giving him the cold shoulder that he risked throwing away his greatest work in the process.

Oh well. Psych house is the third book in the trilogy, and that's next
