Readers of the Decker/Lazarus series need to be aware that this is a reissue. For new fans of Ms. Kellerman's, the series needs to be read in order for readers to get a true appreciation of Peter's and Rina's characters. With that being said, False Prophet is another great example of Ms. Kellerman's talent as a mystery writer. Lilah Brecht's characterization alone is great in adding to the strange happenings around her life. The way that Lilah goes from Miss Well-To-Do to an angry woman who seems to love provoking people, is amazing. Other characters, especially the ones that work at the spa, add to the alleged mystery.
