A gripping new thriller by the author of the instant bestseller Wherever She Goes.
Sometimes there's no use running from your past. . . .
Genevieve has secrets that no one knows. In Rome she can be whoever she wants to be. Her neighbours aren't nosy; her Italian is passable; the shopkeepers and restaurant owners now see her as a local, and they let her be. It's exactly what she wants.
One morning, after getting groceries, she returns to her 500-year-old Trastevere apartment. She climbs to the very top of the staircase, the stairs narrowing the higher she goes. When she gets to her door, she puts down her bags and pushes the key into the lock . . .
. . . and the door swings open.
It's unlocked. Sometimes she doesn't lock it because break-ins aren't common in Rome. But Genevieve knows she locked the door behind her this morning. She has no doubt.
She should leave, call the police. What if someone is in her apartment, waiting for her? But she doesn't.
The apartment is empty, and exactly as she left it, perfectly tidy and not a thing out of place . . . except for the small box on her kitchen table. A box that definitely wasn't there this morning. A box postmarked from the US. A box that is addressed to "Lucy Callahan."
A name that she hasn't used in ten years.
Edge-of-your-seat riveting, K.L. Armstrong's new book will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
My Review:
Man, this was a fantastic book! I just love Kelley Armstrong's writing, and the story was just so enticing! I just couldn't wait to dive into this story, of Genevieve, and why she hasn't used the name Lucy in 10 years. I just had to read it!
One thing that I really enjoy about her writing is that the characters are smart, they have common sense, and they're practical. As in, when there's something wrong, they're not going to be idiots about it and make things worse. They might make mistakes, but they're human. I just love this quality!
The way this story was told-back and forth between the present with Genevieve getting a package addressed to her old name onward, and the past, the reason why she hasn't used that name in 10 years The way things were intertwined was fantastic to read!
This was a bit of a mystery thriller, at least the present was. And on multiple levels, I really enjoyed that one twist with who the one guy was. And that ending, oh, that was clever! The whole thing was just a little sad, that everything happened, but it was a really satisfying ending!
Loved reading this book, it was amazing, and I'm really glad that it's the book I chose to read on my birthday!
