20 Great Thrillers, June 2012

All of the buzz you have heard about this debut novel is true. Catherine Bailey --- young, pretty, and a little wild --- meets Mr. Very, Very Wrong and survives the encounter, though it leaves her badly damaged psychologically. And Mr. Wrong? He goes away, but he comes back, oh yes indeed, and he is not going to stop looking for Ms. Bailey until he finds her and picks up where they left off. This debut novel toys with storytelling structure to great and memorable effect. The chills start and page one and the temperature keeps dropping from there.
