Three Strikes

De: Kate Kessler

Narrado por: Cindy Harden

When a mysterious young girl arrives in the small New England town of Edgeport, it's up to criminal psychologist Audrey Harte to figure out where exactly she came from . . . but sometimes the past should stay in the past.

Thanksgiving is approaching, and Audrey Harte has a lot to be thankful for -- her mother has recovered from surgery, her relationship with Jake is solid, her father is relatively sober, and her career is evolving in an exciting direction. So when an 18-year-old girl turns up on her mother's doorstep, claiming to be the daughter Maggie Jones gave up for adoption, Audrey is amazed.

As Audrey helps the girl discover where she came from, people in the little town of Edgeport think she should leave the past alone, and they let her know through threatening messages and phone calls. Soon, Audrey realizes that it doesn't matter how well you think you know someone -- you don't know what they're capable of until their secrets are threatened. . .

Wow!

An awesome read just as all of the previous books in this series. It amazes me how developed the characters are. After reading 3 in this series i feel as though i actually know the characters as friends and some as enemies. It never ceases to amaze me how the author breathes life into underlying issues such as mental illness, trauma and substance abuse. How these issues are manifested in the characters and their relationships to others is both realistic and eye opening.

Least favorite of the books so far

I didn't feel this story ever really took off. Lots of events that tried to be big twists that just didn't seem that crazy. I'm still planning on finishing the series though!
