FLASHBACK (Suspense-Europe-Cont) – Good
Siler,
Jenny – Standalone
St. Martin's Minotaur, 2004- paperback
An American woman, named Eve by the French nuns who found her, has no memory of
her past. Her only clue is a ferry ticket with Arabic writing on it. When the nuns are massacred and the men were looking for "the American," it sets Eve on a search for the reason she's hunted and her past.
The story starts out well enough but soon becomes a mass of coincidences and a travelogue. The book moved quickly and
sense of place was excellent. However, I never really had a sense of Eve's character and even less for the supporting characters. She's tough, she's capable of taking care of herself, lots of people die around her, but I wasn't involved enough to really care. So, while I thought it was good, it was far from great.
