Unputdownable!
Rating:
5 / 5
Dead Woman's Voice is a great thriller! It was recommended by a friend - never have I read a more 'grab-and-hold-until-the-last-page' work by a new author. The plot is original, if not to say unusual and unexpected; it builds and grows like a crescendo - thoroughly fascinating and believable characters, one of whom is an architect, I understand the author is one, too - obviously knowing what he is writing about. So, the story is more than authentic. The end is a finale which knocks the wind out of you. I hate using a clich� like 'unputdownable', but here it is appropriate. Do not start reading this book late in the evening - it will keep you up most of the night and make you unfit for work the next day; you cannot get the plot out of your mind. My only regret was coming to the end of this absolutely gripping story. I guess like most readers of Dead Woman's Voice, I have only one question: When do we see Hutner's next work?

Investigating a bright light that would indicate an explosion, though there is no sign of one, a kindly rural sherriff discovers a dazed half dressed young woman wandering a lonely road. He takes her home and she becomes a part of his family quickly.Investigation reveals that "Honey" as she is called, is none other than the long lost illegitimate daughter of a powerful man, Renate. He claims his daughter, and hours later, the people who befriended her are dead. Shortly thereafter, she meets a young archetecht, Hector Garcia, and they begin to fall in love. However, this may be the most dangerous thing Hector has ever done. Becoming involved with Renate brings him into a frightening world of spies and bombs. It appears that Renate's uncovered memory does not jive with the life she is supposed to have had, and these two may be the only ones who can stop a frightening weapon from being unleashed. Just when you think the nightmare is over, the story twists. It has only just begun. ***** After reading this book, you will question reality. In a tale told as skillfully as James Patterson, multi faceted characters and a heart stopping plot combine to keep you on the edge of your seat. *****
Couldn't put it down!

A thrilling read -- the twists and turns kept me engaged until the very last page. A fantastic original storyline, great character development, and good writing. I almost missed my stop on the subway a few times!
