Psychological Suspense

 

 Alex Kincaid’s worst nightmare seems to have become reality.  She is running on borrowed time to beat a killer at his or her own game.

When Alex wakes up in her car, she has no idea where she is or how she got there, and as a rookie cop this really eats away at her.  When she and her partner receive a call to investigate a possible injured man, Alex’s worst nightmare comes true.  The man has been murdered, some of Alex’s jewelry is lying next to his body, his house is the same house she was parked in front of that morning, and worse—she cannot remember a thing!

Ms. Girard may be new to me, but she is moving up to my list of favored authors.  I will not be missing her books in the future.  The passionate, believable characters grabbed me from the first page and kept my attention riveted to the final word.

This book has it all—a chilling twist ending, a hint of a blossoming romance in Alex’s future, truly evil antagonists, and a gripping storyline.  The mystery is perplexing, and the quest to link past and present was compelling, wonderfully written and one of the best in this genre.

Hopefully, I will be sharing more on Ms. Girard in the future!
