...little vague about the details, which considering the extent of his depredations is perhaps understandable. That is not true of his victims and their parents, several of whom Berg also interviewed extensively. They remember everything, in scarifying detail. The contrast between their often wailing anguish and his pallid disconnectedness is, perhaps, the most vivid, and heartbreaking, aspect of Deliver Us from Evil. Its most chilling sequence finds O?Grady attempting to write letters to some of his victims.

Every publishing season brings a promising debut, but the vast majority of these writers never again produce a book with the freshness of the original. Instead, they go on repeating themselves in ever more pallid imitations. Writers are encouraged in this timidity by their publishers, who find that the most profitable form of mystery is the series featuring a continuing character. This detective may have been organic to the first story but usually obtrudes in the sequels...
