Forget Me Not by Vicki Hinze

Vicki Hinze is an award-winning author of 23 novels, three nonfiction books, and hundreds of articles.  I personally hadn’t heard of this author until I entered a contest to win a free book.  I can’t even remember where I won it from.  I finally got around to reading the book.  (A side note, I am actually very terrible about reading the free books I win.) This is also the same for Ted Dekker’s books.  I have read some but not all.  So back to Forget Me Not, it is an edge of your seat suspense novel.  It was quite a page turner. I am truly a romantic at heart and even though this is a suspense novel there is some romance sprinkled throughout the book. 

James Rollins author of The Doomsday Key says in the front cover of the book it was “Written with equal parts grace and passion, Vicki Hinze’s latest thriller Forget Me Not delves deeply into a chilling world of twisted loyalties, amnesia, and the struggle of a woman to expose a terrorist plot. Romantic, suspenseful, and ultimately uplifting, this story proves that what is buried in the past never stays buried forever.”

Description of book

Crossroads Crisis Center owner Benjamin Brandt was a content man- in his faith, his work, and his family. Then in a flash, everything he loved was snatched away. His wife and son were murdered, and grief-stricken Ben lost faith. Determination to find their killers keeps him going, but after three years of dead ends and torment, his hope is dying too. Why had he survived? He’d failed to protect his family. 

Now, a mysterious woman appears at Crossroads seeking answers and help-a victim who eerily resembles Ben’s deceased wife Susan. A woman robbed of her identity, her life, of everything except her faith and Susan’s necklace.

The connections between the two women mount, exceeding coincidence, and to keep the truth hidden, someone is willing to kill. Finding out who and why turns Ben and the mystery woman’s situation from dangerous to deadly. Their only hope for survival is to work together, trust each other, and face whatever they discover head on, no matter how painful. But will that be enough to save their lives and heal their tattered hearts?
