Teaser Review ~ Now You See Her by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge

The perfect life

A successful lawyer and loving mother, Nina Bloom would do anything to protect the life she's built in New York--including lying to everyone, even her daughter, about her past. But when an innocent man is framed for murder, she knows that she can't let him pay for the real killer's crimes.

The perfect lie

Nina's secret life began 18 years ago. She had looks to die for, a handsome police-officer husband, and a carefree life in Key West. When she learned she was pregnant with their first child, her happiness was almost overwhelming. But Nina's world is shattered when she unearths a terrible secret that causes her to run for her life and change her identity.

The perfect way to die

Now, years later, Nina risks everything she's earned to return to Florida and confront the murderous evil she fled. In a story of wrenching suspense, James Patterson gives us his most head-spinning, action-filled story yet--a Hitchcock-like blend of unquenchable drama and pleasure.

My teaser ~ 

Nina knows that her client is innocent. He is most definitely NOT the Jump Killer. Now she just needs to prove it, and she must return to South Florida, a place filled with unpleasant memories and a secret she’d prefer not be exposed. Everything she has worked so hard for can be taken away from her in an instant. Regardless of the damage it may do to her personal life, her conscience will not allow her to let an innocent man die. 

In honoring the wishes of the publisher, I am only publishing a teaser of my review of Now You See Her.  The full review will be published on June 27th - the publication date.

FTC Full disclosure ~ I received this book from the publisher in hopes that I would review it.
