Summary: An excellent suspenseful book!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It kept me interested from page one. I enjoy reading mysteries and this book is now my favorite. I haven't read books by Joy Fielding before and now I plan to continue to read more by her. I like how the author pieces everything together. I like books where you don't know what to expect and in the end I would never have guessed that things would go the way they did. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspense and a good mystery!

Summary: The first of two Joy Fielding books to keep me up all night.
Review: I was hooked from the first page, and not some passive kind of page-turning hooked. A drop-everything-and-don't-leave-the-house-or-eat-or-go-to-the-bathroom-until-it's-done kind of hooked. A no-bookmark-needed-cause-I-never-put-the-book-down kind of hooked. I've been unable to decide whether I was the victim of some colossal conspiracy or just insane, and this book cut right to the heart of that dilemma. Most highly recommended, unmissable, etc. along with Don't Cry Now, the other Joy Fielding book I've read.

Summary: I can't believe these reviews!
Review: I was working in a bookstore when this book came out and read a pre-publication copy. I admit mystery/thrillers are not my preferred genre, but even beyond that prejudice I found the book to be so astoundingly awful that it is still burned into my memory a decade later.Suspense? I think I was one chapter into it before the "hook" became obvious. Then I had to slog through a few hundred excruciating pages to watch the predictable plot line drag out. As I recall I finally skipped about a hundred pages in the middle and didn't notice the difference. I wish her editor had noticed the same thing. You could easily lop off a good third of the book with absolutely no loss whatsoever (this is generously assuming you want to keep any of it at all). I kept hoping the not-so-subtle hints in the plotline were red herrings and there would be something to surprise me, but no. There are books that are trash fiction that are just fun to read without being works of art, and I appreciate those books for what they are. I didn't appreciate this book for anything. It was just awful.

Summary: You must read this!
Review: I'll keep this simple. I read this book in one night. Started at 5:30p.m. and ended sometime during the wee hours of the morning. I just couldn't put it down. From the first sentence I was compelled and had no idea what would happen next. As the end drew closer I thought I had figured it out, but something else entered the picture to throw me off track. It just keeps getting better. Whew

Summary: A great mystery with a surprising twist.
Review: Jane comes to on a street corner in downtown Boston. She cant remember who she is, where she lives, what she was doing, who she knows -- in short, a total amnesia has
developed. What crisis has occurred to induce this
hysterical state? The psychiatrists kindly send her home
with her devoted and loving husband. Her husband arranges
for her to be cared for in their home and Jane begins
to have the feeling that she is being kept a prisoner
rather than as a patient. Drugged and indifferent, she
can hardly get through each day. She struggles to make
connections between what she sees in the house and
overhears on the phone but can't come to any conclusions.
She becomes more and more convinced that her husband,
the handsome, weathly and well-respected pediatric surgeon,
is not helping her much. When he begins to speak of
institutionalizing her, Jane knows that she must recover
her lost memory and soon. This is a very taut psychological
thriller. It doesn't seem to get bogged down in minutiae
but drives on, relentlessly, to a shocking (but not altogether
unsuspected) revelation. Enjoy!!! Suitable even for a teenager, the violence is not graphic but the subject
matter is for the emotionally mature.

Summary: Run For Your Life!
Review: Jane Whittaker is suffering from a case of amnesia. She is found roaming the streets of Boston with thousands of dollars in her pocket and a cryptic note to call someone. She does not recognize the writing or the name of the person on the note. Jane's husband, a well-respected pediatrician is directed to Jane and returns her to their lavish home. Once at home, Jane is treated like a bird in a gilded cage. Is her loving husband someone she can recognize? Is he the same towards her before or after her amesia? And what motive does her odious maid Paula have for dismissing her claims and denying her access to other people? I detested Paula and thought she was for the birds. I loved the part where Jane exacts revenge on her. Jane suspects she is being drugged. Is there any validity to that claim? Does Jane really need to run for her life? Villians change shape and form and motives become even darker. The real question is whether or not Jane is able to recover from her amesia and unmask the villians, if any.
