No one does romantic suspense better than Jayne Ann Krentz. Now, the New York Times bestselling author of Untouchable and Promise Not to Tell delivers a novel that twists and turns into a read that will leave you breathless.
Madeline and Daphne were once as close as sisters—until a secret tore them apart. Now, it might take them to their graves....
Nearly two decades after her childhood—and her friendship with Daphne—were destroyed in one traumatic night, a dying man’s last words convey a warning to Madeline: the secrets she believed buried forever have been discovered.
Unable to trust anyone else, Madeline reaches out to Daphne and to the only man she can count on to help: Jack Rayner, a security expert with a profoundly intimate understanding of warped and dangerous minds. Along with his high-tech genius of a brother, the four of them will form an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth....
No visible (to me) paranormal elements in this and it did remind me a lot of Nora Roberts (there's a If you love Nora Roberts you'll love Jayne Ann Krentz sticker on the front). The story starts with a man stalking a young girl and then moves to eighteen years later when that same girl is dealing with her grandmother's death, she has returned to the place she was before and this time she has a security specialist with her. Now she finds the caretaker dying and she's sucked into a mystery that will leave her life different.
I enjoyed it, the romance felt a bit underdone and the mystery was full of suspects, most of whom were guilty in some way or another.
