First off, don't trust the negative reviews at the top of the Amazon list. This is a wonderful book, plotted and written with great skill. It is a story of survivor's guilt. Faith Winters lost her father, her sister, her best friend and her best friend's mother (and later her best friend's sister) to an act of horrendous violence ten years ago. She is about to leave a mental institution and attempt to put her life back together. Of course, she can't really do that until she determines who actually killed her loved ones. The police claimed that her father killed them (and then committed suicide). Faith believes that there were two other men at the scene, one with a rat face. If she can find them (and avoid being killed by them first) she may be able to find some peace. Meanwhile she is hamstrung by her own addiction to alcohol and the necessity to check in with AA, a survivor's group and her parole officer. The detective in the original case appears to have been in love with her mother. Her mother has since remarried a high school flame who abandoned her in the past. The convener of her survivor's group has a checkered past and one of the young policemen in town was about to become engaged to her sister when her sister was murdered. In other words, Faith is entangled in a complex web filled with people who might be on her side or who might be the original perpetrators. Who can she trust?
I have never seen a book subtitled "A Thrilling Suspense Novel," but this book is, indeed, a thrilling suspense novel. Some might call it a psychological thriller. The characters are all interesting and engaging and the plot is first-rate. The setting, unfortunately, is kept anonymous. We are probably somewhere in generic North America, in a place of small towns with prying eyes and nearby woods and lakes with cabins that hold dark secrets.
The book is unputdownable and its heroine is memorable. This kind of book all comes down to the ending , an ending which could be deflating, outrageous, or prodigiously disappointing. It is actually very satisfying, though slightly improbable.
The moment I finished it I ordered another book by Christopher Greyson.
I have never seen a self-published novel with this many Amazon reviews. It is the real deal. Enjoy it.

Nail biting thriller!! Really a must Buy!!
Hi, I am an avid reader and I mostly read mystery and thrillers. I am an Agatha Christie fan, who also loved Ruth Ware and Michael Crichton. But this book came as a surprise bundle of mystery, thrill and “friggin” full of Surprises. It will make you paranoid at few moments and then numb your thoughts for seconds. It is a whole new different story of a girl whose life changed in one freaky incident and then she discovers the truth through many twists and turns. Since it’s a thriller, I will not say much.... Just I will say... Beware!! Ratface is watching you!! Hush hush you Girl.... your friends can be your enemies....Go for the book... mystery lovers will love this, I can bet!!Happy Reading
