Great book by a great author. Tight plot and writing, the pacing was about perfect, and the story was interesting. This one is a bit different from Hunter's previous work in that it's told from first person POV. It's not different in that the book is exciting and dark and very well done. I love that Hunter's books are so British. I mean that I feel like I'm watching a British mystery on TV. There were even a few places where I wish I had subtitles for the audiobook. :-) I definitely suggest getting both the audio AND the ebook or paperback version if you're not British so you can see the spellings AND get the pronunciations of the words. That's the best for fans of words, I think.

No matter what version you pick, if you're a fan of Hunter's previous work, you'll probably love Alias. If you've not given her stuff a shot yet, this stand-alone novel is the perfect jumping in point. ( )

Whew. What a story. Definitely a thriller.

It starts with a car accident down the side of a road. We meet Rebecca (or that's who she assumes she is). She doesn't remember why she's in the crashed car, or for that matter who she is.

She meets, Bronwen Pryce, one of the first responders and there's a small spark between them. But, she's all bashed to hell and Prcye is all business trying to figure out what happened to the woman.

Rebecca slowly finds out more about herself, her family, friends, and job. But, a lot of the details still escape her, and that's what makes the novel interesting.

It was most definitely a thriller. I found myself wondering who was going to be the doer and such.

I really liked the characters too. Bron took awhile to get used to, but, I really liked the student nurse who was Rebecca's nurse in the hospital.

And then there was the biggest whoa-- I didn't really realize until the 7th chapter that it wasn't in past tense as most books usually are that I read. And yet, only once or twice in the book did I remember that was the case. It was a nice change of pace (usually I can't read anything but straight on past tense). Very cool.

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books. ( )
