I love a good short story. Just the facts and no need to describe the underside of a rock, as a friend would say. Tess Gerritsen gets to the point quickly without dragging the reader through the mundane while deftly bringing the reader to the crux without having to talk down to them or overtly pointing them in the wrong direction only to reel it all back in with a sudden ending and an overly explained conclusion.
With a final twist, Maura Isles learns what happened to her, and her would-be assailant on a night that started at a gala and ended with Maura sprawled on her couch with no memory of how she had gotten there. As Jane pounds on her door and tells of a body, Maura knows that her nightmare is just beginning.
There might have been a memory – a voice – but everything is vague. A terrifying thought and with precision, Tess Gerritsen narrates a story that will stay with the reader.
