Just Jennifer

Never Knowing by Chevy Stevens (Minotaur, July 2011)


Sara thought it was important to know who her birth parents were, especially for her daughter and their medical histories and begins a search for the woman who gave birth to her, a search that reveals a terrible secret about her birth father, plunging her and her family into a downward spiral more horrible than her worse dream. Sara learns her birth was the result of a rape, her mother the only survivor of a campground serial killer who has never been caught. A leak catapults Sara’s story to the forefront and she is contacted by her father, John who begins a slow cat and mouse game with her, telling her he needs contact with her to stay calm…so he won’t kill again. FBI agents want to catch the campground killer and now have the perfect bait: Sara. Wanting to do the right thing, and not wanting any more blood on her hands than she feels she already has, Sara agrees and is drawn deeper and deeper into a web of deceit and terror, not knowing who she can trust and who will keep her safe. Just when she thinks it is over, there is one last piece that no one will guess or see coming, keeping the suspense and tension high until the very end. This is a psychological thriller of the finest kind. The pace is rapid and taut, keeping readers on the edge until the very end.
