The Girl with a Clock for a Heart
by Peter Swanson
This is a nice little thriller about corrupted identity & why, even if you're still pining over your first college love, if you're pretty sure she's a murderer, you should not entangle yourself in her life several years after your relationship ended. Liana, who George originally knew as Audrey, shows up one day at his favorite bar, calling herself Jane & needing help. She's pretty & manipulative & ensnares George in a plot that has more delicious, flaky layers than a fresh-baked croissant (I think I need to go have lunch). I was planning to give it a little more love until I got to the last page. Liana is still alive, says George! I am going to track her down at all costs! There will clearly be a sequel, because the author blurb says that he's working on his second novel! Although maybe I'm totally wrong about a sequel; I'm just now thinking that it would be pretty awesome for Swanson to end with "She was alive" and go on to have a writing career that has nothing at all to do with George Foss or Liana Decter, leaving us all to ponder how exactly she survived having her feet tied to a concrete block & getting dumped over the edge of a boat in the middle of the ocean or whether Liana was just a sociopath since she thought that killing Audrey could've ended well in any possible way. Either way, I enjoyed this enough that I'd read more by this author in the future.
Aaaaannd, just read an author interview wherein he states that there is no sequel! From three stars to four in the blink of an eye.
