This is a murder mystery. One where our heroine is an amnesiac, and our hero the one suspected of murdering his wife.

The story sets up the idea for a lot of things that never manifest, Ariel our heroine reporter never really gets into any kind of trouble with her amnesia. Its almost as if its a side note that doesn't matter, the plot could have just as easily been handled with an "I've moved on i don't remember angle."
On page 124 of the copy I have Ariel receives a phone call that she believes is related to a story she just finished working on. She doesn't relate it to the guy she is seeing that could have gotten away with killing his wife.
I think that is where the book went down hill for me. If this woman is such an amazing reporter why doesn't she come to the same conclusion that the reader does there, not two hundred pages later.

All in all an OK read, a true to life ending compared to most fiction, and don't read it if you want a happy ending, read it if you want an ending that makes morbid sense. I was not happy with the plot twists because they didn't seem twisted to me, they seemed to all be laid out like ducks in a row.

SPOILER:
OH of course our girl couldn't end up with the guy who is Right for her, no he has to die in her arms because our author had to make a point. yes the story makes sense and is more true to live than most but I was still hoping Ariel would turn out to be her murdered twin sister.
