Come Closer

Read in a single sitting (it's short), Come Closer is the kind of thriller I expect to pick up and never get. It's pulse pounding, page turning fun. It reminded me of Rosemary's Baby (not in subject, but in feel). It was published in 2003, which I find surprising as it seems like these characters would have had cellphones and several of the plot points would have been very different had they had phones. I really enjoyed the frugality of words here, there is not one wasted sentence, there are no paragraphs filled with endless, boring descriptions. Amanda is fully formed at the beginning of the story and we meet her and then watch her begin to fall apart.

Perfect for October!
