If I could only use one word to describe this book, it would be INTENSE. Maybe RIVETING. Or even SPELLBINDING. Whichever word used, it was an AWESOME read.

Three teenage boys witness the murder of a much younger boy at the hands of a teenage girl. They never tell anyone what they've seen. What happened afterwards is something that never leaves them... not for a single day.

Thirty years later, one of those boys is now a nationally known author of murder mysteries. Not surprising to know that most of the serial killers in his books are female. And then one day a 'fan' bumps into him .. and leaves behind a note that says ... you didn't even change my name .... Not a big surprise when you consider that the book he's working on is a somewhat fictional accounting of that long ago day.

So begins his descent back into his own personal hell .... when he has to decide how far he will have to go to protect himself and all that he holds dear.

I have read one other of this author's books, which led me to this one, and a little birdie has whispered that there is another in the works. Definitely going to grab that one, too!

5 stars because it kept me in suspense from the very first to the very last.
