The storyline is a good one, but I found it slow going. I tried it twice before I finally got into it, but then I thoroughly enjoyed it.

After an apparent suicide attempt, Jinx Kingsley is hospitalized suffering from post-traumatic amnesia. There, with the help of a brilliant doctor, she begins to piece together memories that leave her desperate and terrorized. Who wanted her dead? The book will keep you guessing until the last page.

The story line is good, and characterization is excellent, but still, I found this book to be tedious and very slow going.

A good psychological thriller. It has all the right elements....murder, jealousy and sexual absession. Very "Hichcockian!"
