Never Look Back [Paperback]

Robert Ross (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 3, 2005

Karen Donovan no sooner marries bestselling novelist Philip Kaye when he leaves on a book tour, abandoning her at his Provincetown mansion with his sullen teenage daughter. Black-clad Jessie Kaye isn't exactly good company: when she's not skulking around, she's locked in her room writing in her journal, and her strangeness is a topic of local gossip...As autumn sets in, Karen befriends flamboyant local celebrity Bobbie Noble. But their plans to renovate Philip's house are sidetracked when Karen stumbles upon the diary of accused axe-murderess Lettie Hatch. It describes Lettie's boorish father and young, ambitious stepmother - both of whom would fall victim to a crazed killer. And the more Karen reads, the more she's convinced that Jessie, with her increasingly bizarre behaviour, is channelling something sinister...When Philip returns, he's in no mood to entertain the theories that have grown into a nerve-jangling obsession for Karen. Now, as a bitter winter binds the Cape in snow and ice, Karen feels a presence taking over. It knows what happened here nearly a hundred years before. And it won't stop until history is rewritten - in blood.

This review is from: Never Look Back (Paperback)

I am not a lover of the supernatural but grabbed this one off the library shelf as a summer read. It served its purpose. I was entertained but not left with anything to ponder. Perfect for a vacation.

I loved this book! My only regret is that I didn't read it 4 years ago when I received it as a gift! It is an extremely creative book! It had my heart racing and toes curling at points and I never wanted to put it down. I could relate to everything in relation to locations in P-Town as I vacation there yearly so for me it added to the reading experience being able to visualize the story. I can't wait to try more of his novels!
