Elin Summerall was one of the lucky ones. Not only did she get a heart transplant, but the donor was a perfect fit. A miraculously perfect fit.
But when Elin begins having violent flashbacks—and vivid dreams of being strangled—she realizes that she has been the recipient of more than just a new heart . . . Elin is remembering her donor’s murder.
Her strange affliction has attracted some unwanted attention: from the press, from the authorities . . . and from the killer himself. Now, living alone with her young daughter and aging mother, Elin is being stalked—by a man she’s only met in her nightmares.
The police are dubious of her story, but one off-duty FBI agent is eager to help her: Agent Marc Everton, the father of Elin’s daughter.
Of course, he doesn’t know about that. Yet.
Now, in a remote cottage on Hope Island, Elin and Marc must probe the secrets buried in her borrowed heart. And there’s no time to waste. One man is desperate to silence her—before she remembers too much.
My thoughts: SEAGRASS PIER starts out chilling, and with little break stays that way most of the way through. I enjoy Ms. Coble’s books, she’s one of my top three favorite authors in the romantic suspense genre.
I did figure out who the killer was as soon as he walked into the pages of the books. But that didn’t ruin the story for me. I felt sorry for Elin, trying to balance a mother with dementia, a killer stalking her, and her daughter’s father showing up out of nowhere all at once. It’s a lot for any woman to deal with, even if she wasn’t suffering from nightly visions about the murder of the woman who donated her heart.
If you love romantic suspense, you will definitely want to read SEAGRASS PIER. A great read.
