    About this audiobook

    A first-year resident at a major Boston children's hospital, Peyton Shields finally has the career she's always dreamed of—even though her marriage to Kevin, an up-and-coming young lawyer, is suffering from her hard work and impossibly long hours. But a late-night drive home in a heavy snowstorm changes everything when she is forced off the road.

    No one, not even Kevin, believes Peyton's claims that the ""accident"" was deliberate. Suddenly, her wonderful life has turned dark and uncertain, and the terror has only just begun. Her husband is growing inexplicably distant and bitter, accusing her of paranoia, betrayal, and infidelity. And a series of bizarre and frightening events is moving Peyton steadily closer to a faceless, resourceful enemy who is watching her every move.

      This was a very well written mystery of love of; work, family, marriage with deception of all of them thrown into the mix. Peyton Shields is a 1st year residency in pediatric medicine at Children's Hospital in Boston with her husband, Kevin Strokes being a lawyer. Peyton has feelings that someone is obsessed with her, during a drive home from work one night in a snow strom, someone drives head on at her, she attempts to avoid the crash, looses control and crashes into a pond, up to her waist in water. She's unconscious and badly injuried, but someone removes her from her car before she drowns and disappears, is this a "Good Samaritan" or does this a person have some other motives. Shortly after being released from the hospital strange things start happening, the 1st thing was a surprise birthday party for her at the hospital with fellow co-workers with Peyton dancing with this "mine." She became interested on who knew that it was her birthday and who organized it, only to become aware that nobody has a clue to who organized her party or hired the "mine." Now the cat and mouse game takes off, in this most enjoyable novel.

      Pretty straight-forward mystery surrounding a young female doctor, Peyton, who is framed for murder. It a good story but I found myself disliking the cheating husband, Kevin, because he berates and disbelieves his wife when it appears she has cheated on him but hasn't. He holds her to a standard that he can't hold for himself. I hate when guys do that. Overall it was a good read, even though I listened to it.
    • 3/5
      It was my first Grippando book. The short version of what I thought about it is that the plot moved along swiftly enough. It was fairly linear with only one major twist. On the downside, I felt that something was maybe a bit off. I had problems with the characters in the book (almost without exception) and a few details rubbed me the wrong way.Let me give a few examples of the things that rubbed me the wrong way. In an early scene Kevin went to drive away in a car that had been parked during a snowstorm. First he got into the car and got the scraper, then he scraped THEN he started the car. I'm positive that even someone from Florida would start the car before scraping if they'd spent even one snowy night in the north.As another example there was a phrase..."he looked as if he'd bet the farm on Goliath and lost everything". That just seemed insulting to me. 1) Most if not all English speakers are familiar with the story of David and Goliath. If you bet the farm on Goliath, we already know that you lost. 2) If you're comfortable using the phrase "bet the farm" then you KNOW that it means that you bet it all...if you lost, you lost everything.There are quite a few more turns of phrase like that which hammer the reader over the head explaining the metaphor. The point of metaphor is to illustrate a point and provide insight in an inventive way. If you have to explain your metaphor...it's like explaining a joke.I know this sounds like I hated the book. I didn't. I will definitely read another Grippando. I'm just unsure if he'll ever be one of my "favorite" authors.
