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.
