Thanks so much to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
I'm a huge fan of this author and have read all her books - her latest did not disappoint. A well-crafted suspense novel with a great main character (or really 2!).
The opening chapter is a shocker and hooks you right away. Amelia is a sexual trauma nurse and is involved in an accident that leaves her deaf. She has to step away from the profession that she loves and struggles with her new reality. Trying to cope, she loses herself in alcohol. It destroys her marriage and her relationship with her step-daughter becomes threatened.
Two years later, Amelia is living on her own in a remote cabin, now using running and sports on the nearby river to heal instead of alcohol. Jake, her childhood friend, is there to encourage her sobriety. But her best friend is Stitch, a therapy dog trained to help Amelia navigate her deafness. He is trained to accept commands in Czech but has a totally lovable mischievous side to him also.
While out on the river, Amelia discovers the dead body of someone she once worked with. Could it be related to her own accident? Is someone targeting nurses? Is her ex-husband involved?
I loved Amelia and Stitch - Amelia is so strong, independent, loving and Stitch is amazing! I raced through this book - a real winner!
