"Wow, what an intriguing story!"

Christy Matthews finally takes time away from her job at a major hospital and goes to her parents' beach house for some much needed time to herself after her divorce. There also is a serial killer on the loose and he seems to have it in for redheaded nurses especially those who work at the same hospital where Christy works.

One evening during a horrible storm the doorbell rings and when Christy looks out the peephole, she sees a battered and bruised man at the door. What should she do? She's trained to help so against her better judgment she opens the door and he literally falls at her feet.

When the man is finally able to talk, he finds out he cannot remember anything. He also doesn't have a bit of identification with him. How can this be? Christy has no choice but to let him stay until the storm lets up. There's just something about this man that Christy inherently trusts. Will she live to regret this decision?

John Doe or JD as he asks to be called is so frustrated with the whole situation. He knows he should be doing something important but doesn't know what. When he finds out a serial killer is on the loose, he decides he has to keep Christy safe and help convince her to help him find out who he really is.

This book kept me on the edge of my chair from start to finish. I was shocked through and through when the villain was finally revealed. Wow, I was totally out in left field and didn't even see it coming! Books like this are my favorite kinds of reads. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one and look forward to reading more books by Lorna Michaels!
