-In an attempt to reconnect with his two alienated adult children, George Temple replicates the memorable horse trek through the forbidding Yellowstone wilderness they had enjoyed twenty years earlier. But his callous children, Courtney and Scott, accompany him only to persuade him to restore the financial support he has withdrawn. As they are led by a drunken guide and a venal horse wrangler over potentially lethal terrain, their bonding experience quickly disintegrates. Nostalgia is corrupted into a nightmare of lust, betrayal, and entrapment as the children's disturbing motives are revealed and dark family secrets are exposed. Courtney's appetite for selfish and violent pursuits establishes her as one of the most evil women in fiction, alongside the likes of Lady Macbeth. Through her, Warren Adler explores how an obsession for celebrity and blind ambition can distort familial love and turn a beloved child into a grotesque monster. As he did in the iconic The War of the Roses, Adler paints a frightening picture of the American family, only more sinister.

By fredamans First I have to say I enjoyed both The War of the Roses and The Tie That Binds, but the dark nature of the latter attracted me more. This book is dark and twisted like it, but in a different way.I loved 99% of it.It was the very last page I hated. Yup. Total WTF!!So I will keep in my memory the 99% and make my own last page....Suspense seekers that like little sick and demented twists, this is for you....4.5/5
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A tense, atmospheric thriller... By K Cowdall This is a tense, atmospheric thriller which uncoils chapter by chapter and leaves us with a literal cliff-hanger at journey's end. As with the best of the author's work, The Serpent's Bite is at times intentionally uncomfortable reading, with acutely drawn characters it is difficult to sympathise with, so that we turn the pages awaiting an anticipated comeuppance. It does not disappoint, and in Courtney Temple, Warren Adler has created a female character as manipulative as Becky Sharp, as vindictive as Nurse Ratchet and, ultimately, as destructively wicked as Mrs Danvers.Kevin Cowdall, author of Paper Gods and Iron MenPaper Gods and Iron Men (with Flanagan's Mule)

By MadameRue Having been written by the author of "The War of the Roses" I was expecting a blockbuster, can't put it down, can't wait to see what happens next kind of book. This was none of those things.The book started off very slow and didn't get much better.Not one of the characters in this book was likable in any way (well, maybe the aging father's new girlfriend that you get small glimpses of). You just couldn't connect with any of them. They also weren't so detestable as to make the book interesting. The back of the book describes the lead female character as "one of the most evil women of contemporary fiction". She didn't even come close.I understand that dysfunctional people is the author's schtick. However, the whiny, spoiled, narcissistic, incestuous adult children in this book were a disappointment. More time was spent delving into and describing their sexual exploits, both past and present, than on character development.The blackmailing illegal alien's character was so sporadically developed that he was pretty much an also ran character even though the plot depended on this character toward the end.The drunk outfitter was so predictable it was like his character didn't even count.The aging father was just pathetic.The culmination of the story was one page that was anti-climactic and seemed to be thrown in as an afterthought.
