Reading this book was like watching a Hitchcock movie. There is a slow buildup, all the time you are feeling something is not right, the fear grows and then the horror hits you. But wait! Another slow build up and the terror returns.
Catherine has a fun life. She is kind of a 'party girl' and sometimes presses her luck as she bar hops and parties with her friends. But it is all in fun and she doesn't expect to meet the man of her dreams one night. He is handsome, attentive, and the envy of her friends. Lee soon has all of them under his spell. Until Catherine begins to notice a change. He has become jealous, possessive, controlling. He keeps her more and more alone and isolated - and afraid. Finally, she escapes.
But life with Lee has taken its toll. Four years later, even though he is behind bars, Cathy compulsively checks her door and window locks - over and over again.She trusts no one and believes she will never be happy or normal again. Just when she begins a friendship with the new neighbor upstairs, she receives a phone call warning her that Lee is about to be released. She begins to see people from the past, objects moved in her apartment . . . Can she trust anyone? Is she finely going totally crazy? Or has Lee come for her?
I had to put this book down and do something else for a few minutes a couple of times, just to relieve the tension! I'm sure the hands clutching my kindle had white knuckles. This book was everything a suspense novel should be.
A few days ago I downloaded another book by Elizabeth Haynes. I'm hoping for the more of the same.
