Thank you, Clorinda.

Just a nitpicking editing note: it was stated that the patient was transferred to "John Hopkins Hospital."
There's a spelling error there. The correct spelling is "Johns Hopkins Hospital." As often happens, they left the "s" off of "Johns."
Good catch! Thanks for your comment.

Thank you, Miriam.

Excellent point! Thanks for your comment.

As far as Marianne’s character goes what I read the whole book I understood why her character was the way she was. I won’t say as I don’t want to spoil it but I found Marianne to be a little bit unlikable but not in the way you said. Thanks for the great review !
I wonder when you reviewed the book. I got the impression from seeing a few different book covers and a change in the name of the bar that the book may have been recently edited/updated. Thanks for your comment.

If you do, I hope you enjoy it.

LV2R wrote: 16 Sep 2019, 06:59 It sounds like the thriller and suspense with twists, turns, and red flags are all wonderfully written. It is too bad about the explicit sex scenes and R-rated profanity. Your review makes me wonder if Tim will remember his lost memories and if Mary Ann was somehow involved in the accident that Tim's wife lost her life.
Well...I'll say that there were many surprising twists and turns.

I just finished this book and I really enjoyed the suspense that kept building throughout the book. I was fortunate to be able to review the audio version of the book. Normally I would prefer to read text on the page rather than having it spoken to me, but it was fun to have an audio book for a change. What a story!

I was just reading your review and now I'm already taking guesses about what will happen :lol: I haven't even read it but I'm thrilled to know about Tim's past and how Mary Ann is involved in the story. Thanks for the review! :)

It seems like my type of a book. I love thrillers with lots of suspense, mystery, romance, etc. Also, great review and good job with taking caution to not reveal spoilers! :tiphat:
