A HORRIFIC RECURRING NIGHTMARE IS THREATENING TO STEAL HER SANITY…
Dr. Corinne Cabot is living the American dream. She’s a successful ER physician in Chicago who’s married to a handsome husband. Together they live in a charming house in the suburbs. But appearances can be deceiving—and what no one can see is Corinne’s dark past. Troubling gaps in her memory mean she recalls little about a haunting event in her life years ago that changed everything.
She remembers only being in the house the night two people were found murdered. Her father was there, too. Now her father is in prison; she hasn’t been in contact in years. Repressing that terrifying memory has caused Corinne moments of paranoia and panic. Sometimes she thinks she sees things that aren’t there, hears words that haven’t been spoken. Or have they? She fears she may be losing her mind, unable to determine what’s real and what’s not.
So when she senses her husband’s growing distance, she thinks she’s imagining things. She writes her suspicions off to fatigue, overwork, anything to explain what she can’t accept—that her life really isn’t what it seems.
This novel is billed as a pyschological thriller, but I think it really is in a blurred place and not easy to pigeonhole.
Corrine is having problems with panic attacks. Her father murdered two people, she was there, and all these years later she still can't remember it all. Jude, her husband, is bitter about her long hours at the hospital and her shaky memories of her traumatic past. A sexy waitress gets hired on at his favorite restaurant, and everything spells trouble.
This novel started out very strong, but I quickly guessed (turns out accurately) the twist. Still, it was well written enough to keep me reading it as quickly as I could. I think I read the last 75% of it in one sitting, over the course of an hour. I needed desperately to see it to the end.
The relationships are real enough to make you really feel for the characters: sadness, anger, sorrow.
