Another Life [Paperback]

Donna Anders (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 20, 2007

Gifted author Donna Anders is a master of psychological suspense -- Ann Rule called her last novel, The Flower Man, "as terrifying as a footstep next to your bed at midnight." Now Anders takes us air a roller-coaster ride of steadily increasing thrills, as a young wife on the run assumes another woman's identity -- and perhaps her nightmares....

San Fransisco freelance artist Sharon Moore is caught in a living hell. Her abusive husband has made her a prisoner in her own home, convinced her doctor and neighbors she is having a breakdown, and is plotting her "accidental" death. Desperate, Sharon flees to Seattle with her five-year-old son, David. After assuming the identity of "Janice Young," a woman who died in a suspicious fire years before, Sharon's fresh start is shattered when she begins receiving death threats -- taunting phone calls that mock her every move. Tired of running, and with David ill, Sharon is determined to fight. But she can't be certain if her husband has caught up with her, or if someone is after Janice Young -- a murderer who, this time, will make sure Janice does not survive.

This was the first Donna Anders book that I have read - and it was excellent. I finished it in one day. I am not starting to read The Flower Man, I just hope it is a good as this one. If you like suspense and mystery this is a MUST read!

This was an easy to follow non confusing mystery. Nothing spectacular, yet interesting enough to keep me reading to the end. This was probably not the first time a plot like this was written, but that is the case with most books. I would recommend this for those of you looking for a quick read on a lazy afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling and Suspensful!, August 22, 2001

This review is from: Another Life (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read both of Donna Ander's other thrillers, "The Flower Man" and "Dead Silence" but this book is far better. Even though they were both suspensful, they were not as well written as this book. This book is so superior in it's writing that it is hard to believe the same author created it. The characters are well developed and the protagonist, Sharon, is so loveable. I found myself rooting for her and almost crying out when I thought her evil husband, Paul, would catch her at something she was not supposed to be doing! This was an intense read and I could not put it down! I never wanted it to end and the characters became as real people to me. That is a sign of a great book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and it is worth buying! I highly recommend it!
