In Lamb's latest (after Such a Pretty Face), successful accountant Natalie Shelton has a good life, with loyal women friends and an adoring, sexy husband Zack, who renovated their lovely home. It's a long way from a childhood marred by her mother's abandonment and her father's financial struggles. When she ends up in a coma after a car crash, she's somehow able to notice a creepy intruder in her hospital room, then hears Zack talking angrily on the phone about her accident. She knows he's concealing something, but she can't believe he's trying to kill her, so she hides her suspicions of him from the police. The stakes rise when she's released from the hospital and someone shoots at her in her new apartment. She's desperate to remember what happened the morning of her accident, believing it might explain why Zack, who has always been loyal and loving, is also mysterious about his past to the point that it endangers them both.
VERDICT This fast, suspenseful story has quirky, warm characters that contrast well with Zack's dark past and the motives of a dangerous stranger, all building to an action-filled, unexpected resolution.
