"Gripping."

-- Carla Neggers --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.



Product Description

She swore she was innocent.

Maggie Fraser has tried to forget. The body of the man she loved. The blood seeping into the snow. The scandalous murder trial. The twelve agonizing years in prison for a crime she did not commit. But now Maggie is free -- and ready to start a new life. Alone. Unknown. On a quiet island off the coast of New England, she accepts a job with the local newspaper. And slowly, she tries to put the past behind her, opening her heart to the paper's ruggedly handsome editor, Jess Herlie. Then the nightmare begins...again.

Now she must pay.

Someone is watching Maggie's every move -- and waiting for revenge. Someone who refuses to forgive and forget. Someone who would do anything, even destroy innocent lives, to teach the guilty that there is no sanctuary, no escape, for...

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read, October 25, 2002
By A Customer
This was the first Patricia MacDonald book I read, about fifteen years ago, and I've read them all. Maggie, the main character, has been released from jail to rebuild her life after a wrongful and lengthy prison sentence for a murder. Maggie has secretly taken a job and is trying to hide her past from her new employer and the rest of the world. Unfortunately, someone is stalking her and trying to make sure her life is anything but restful. Complicating things are Maggie's growing attraction to her boss, and her lack of trust and unwillingness to confide in him.

Although the "mystery stalker" is revealed fairly early, the true identity surprised me and kept me guessing as to how the story could resolve. Maggie was a very sympathetic character, and her budding romance with Jess her boss rounded the book out nicely. Although this ending was a bit more farfetched than her later books, it was still worth reading. It would be interesting if P.M. revisted this book years later and wrote a sequel ...there's still one character out there with an axe to grind against Maggie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!!, March 5, 2006
By Steven James (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unforgiven (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book years ago and loved it and I recently came across it and read it again. This book rocks! It should be made into a movie. Gripping from the beginning, it kept me rapt until I turned the last page. I would recommend this book to just about everyone I know, except for maybe a couple of my pretentious, pseudo-intellectual friends. Give it a try. You'll like it a LOT.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unforgiven, March 5, 2006
By Debbie (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unforgiven (Mass Market Paperback)
This was an absolutely fantastic book. I literally read in in a day. I just couldn't put it down. The story was unique and had you on the edge of your seat. I have read other books by this author and she is really good, but so far this was my favorite.

1.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the worst novel I've ever read
I'm amazed by the great reviews of this book! Shallow characters, an unbelievable plot, and trite writing combine to make this novel almost unreadable. Read more

The book was excellent as all of Patricia MacDonald's I have purchased so far have been. I am reading her "Stranger in the House" now and cannot put it down.
