Alafair Burke delivers another wildly complex and entertaining plot with The Girl She Was (known as Find Me in the US) It kept me reading well into the night trying to work out how it was all going to unfold. There are alot of characters (and Ellie Hatcher is apparently a character for 5 previous books, which I did not know. This reads fine as a stand alone but I think we may have gotten a better understanding of this character if the earlier books had been read)It is a story of Hope Miller (not...
Bored so much that I could not finish, DNF.
Full disclosure: I have read every single Alafair Burke book. The only one I DNF was The Better Sister. I want to point this out, because my familiarity with her writing style and plot structure definitely impacts my rating. THE PLOT Hope Miller (real name unknown) doesn't remember a single thing before her car accident 15 years ago. Suddenly, she wants to start all over again, and leaves her BFF Lindsay in the lurch when she moves to East Hampton. After Lindsay can't reach Hope, she starts

Ellie Hatcher is back at last after seven long years. I have enjoyed the other books Alafair wrote on her own and with Mary Higgins Clark in the interim, but have often wondered about Ellie. If you have not read any of the Ellie Hatcher books, you will still find this to be an enjoyable read with some unexpected twists. A single vehicle car crash that took place fifteen years before the book began results in a female victim with no memory and no identification. The residents of Hopewell, NJ help...
