Everywhere to Hide

The main character (and first-person narrator) is Whitney Garrison, who works two jobs while studying for the bar exam in Arlington, Virginia. She's recently moved to escape an abusive boyfriend, and worries he might find her. But that becomes the least of her worries when she discovers a dead body behind the coffee shop where she works, and sees the likely murderer fleeing the scene. \\n\\nWhitney suffers from face blindness. She literally can't remember faces . . . which is bad for Whitney, but good for the murderer. As such, Whitney's condition is a major plot point, and brings an extra layer of meaning to the title. Because the murderer literally does have everywhere to hide: Whitney will never be able to pick him out of a lineup. \\n\\nThings get worse when someone breaks into her new apartment . . . Yes, this is a story that starts with a bang and doesn't let up. It's full of twists and turns, and is anything but predictable. That's what I like in a suspense novel. It also has touches of humour, and some romance. What it doesn't have (which is perhaps a surprise, given the publisher) is overt Christian content. However, it doesn't have any graphic language, violence, or sex either. \\n\\nOverall, Everywhere to Hide is an excellent suspense novel, and Whitney's condition provides a unique source of conflict. Recommended. \\n\\nThanks to Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
