Mystery 

 

Claire Mitchell has just become engaged to Richard Westfall, the son of a timberland tycoon.  Claire is thrilled, but nightmares are overshadowing her upcoming marital bliss.  Not knowing much about her early childhood, Claire realizes that her nightmares and some recent attempts on her life may be connected to the first ten years of her existence. 

When her best friend is murdered and found in the car Claire had loaned her, Claire only has one choice.  She travels to Oregon to seek the teenager, Kyle Evers, who found her beaten and unconscious in the forest years ago.  Hoping Kyle can shed some light on who she might possibly be, Claire sets off on a journey that will tear apart the life she has developed. 

In a story that spans close to twenty years, Ms. Douglas has written a thrilling novel of suspense that keeps the reader guessing.  Believable characters mingle with a predator-prey situation and keep the reader flipping pages long into the night.  Plenty of twists and dead ends provide a mystery that was difficult to guess the outcome. 

I was saddened to see the story come to an end and am happy to announce that Ms. Douglas has started a sequel to DEADFALL.  I cannot wait to see what happens next!
