The bestselling author of Somebody's Daughter and Cemetery Girl , "one of the brightest and best crime fiction writers of our time" ( Suspense Magazine ) delivers a pulse-pounding thriller about a man who is haunted by a face from his past... When Nick Hansen sees the young woman at the grocery store, his heart stops. She's the spitting image of his college girlfriend, Marissa Minor, who died in a campus house fire twenty years earlier. But when Nick tries to speak to her, she acts skittish and rushes off. The next morning the police arrive at Nick's house and show him a photo of the woman from the store. She's been found dead, murdered in a local motel, with Nick's name and address on a piece of paper in her pocket. Convinced there's a connection between the two women, Nick enlists the help of his college friend Laurel Davidson to investigate the events leading up to the night of Marissa's death. But the young woman's murder is only the beginning...and the truths Nick uncovers may make him wish he never doubted the lies.
I have read a few of David Bell's books and I must say I like them. I enjoyed this book a lot. I will not say it kept me on the edge of my seat but it was still a pretty good book. I am an avid reader and probably read 2 books a week. I have certain authors I like so always order my old stand by's and then add a new author to it. If I do not enjoy a book I will still try to finish it because that is just the way i am am. I like to always complete what I started. This is one of those books that I enjoyed reading but had no trouble putting it down to continue at another time...that being said....still a pretty good read.
