Land
of the Living
By Nicci
French
When
Abbie Devereaux wakes up in pitch darkness, she has no idea who
she is, where she is, or how she got there. But more importantly,
she has no idea who has bound and gagged her or how she can escape.
And the end of her rope-literally-Abbie decides to hang herself
instead of become a victim of the madman holding her captive. Fortunately,
the restraint around her neck breaks, allowing Abbie to escape before
her captor returns to finish her off. But now Abbie has a whole
new set of problems. Her memory has disappeared, and no one-not
even the police-believes her story. Can Abbie retrace her steps
and put the pieces of the puzzle together before her would-be murderer
finds her?
Nicci
French has succeeded in writing another top-notch thriller. Land
of the Living is the ultimate horror story, complete with spooky
houses, horrifying murders, and helpless victims. The complexity
of the plot and characters makes this book a fascinating novel.
So fascinating, in fact, that you won't be able to put it down.
This one will keep you reading all night long-because it's so good
and because you'll be too afraid to go to sleep after reading it.
