BOOK SYNOPSIS:
No one does romantic suspense better than Jayne Ann Krentz. Now, the New York Times bestselling author of Trust No One and River Road 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.
They knew his name, the man who tried to brutally attack twelve-year-old Madeline in her grandmother’s hotel. They thought they knew his fate. He wouldn’t be bothering them anymore…ever. Still their lives would never be the same.
Madeline has returned to Washington after her grandmother’s mysterious death. And at the old, abandoned hotel—a place she never wanted to see again—a dying man’s last words convey a warning: the secrets she and Daphne believed buried forever have been discovered.
Now, after almost two decades, Madeline and Daphne will be reunited in friendship and in fear. Unable to trust the local police, Madeline summons Jack Rayner, the hotel chain’s new security expert. Despite the secrets and mysteries that surround him, Jack is the only one she trusts…and wants.
Jack is no good at relationships but he does possess a specific skill set that includes a profoundly intimate understanding of warped and dangerous minds. With the assistance of Jack’s brother, Abe, a high-tech magician, the four of them will form an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth…
REVIEW:
JAK is one of my favorite authors and I really enjoyed this story. The story has a different feel to me than most of JAK’s novels. The romance is there and the suspense is there but something is a bit off to me. Now don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the story because I did but it wouldn’t be at the top of my favorites by her.
I never really warmed up to Maddie or Jack. I liked Daphne and really liked Abe much more. Maddie went through a traumatic experience as a teen and Daphne, Maddie’s grandmother and some others covered up the incident and now almost two decades later the truth is coming out. But I never really got what the big deal was and why everything was taboo for 18 years. I understand the trauma for Maddie and Daphne but not really what the big deal is about everything else.
Again I want to say I really liked the story. I thought it was well written as all of JAK’s stories are. I think anyone who enjoys romantic suspense will enjoy this story. Another great read from JAK. Can’t wait for the next one.
