"Spellbound" is a thriller full of mystery and suspense. I got hooked from the very first page. You immediately get a sense that something is amiss when Jack meets Scott, who is staying at the same motel as Jack. Scott says that they've been drinking together every weekend for a month, but Jack doesn't remember that. He's convinced that he came to Porterville just yesterday.Then Jack discovers that he brought a whole suitcase of clothes although his visit to Porterville was supposed to last only a couple of days. It becomes clear that the last several months were wiped from Jack's memory. Jack is confused and feels that his life might be in danger.There are a lot of unpredictable and astonishing twists in this book. You begin to wonder if everyone in Jack's motel is on the verge of insanity. Jack's investigation into the kidnapping of his neighbor's husband results in a shocking revelation.I admired Jack's wife's courage and persistence. She risked her freedom and made many hard choices trying to help her husband.I enjoyed this book. It has an original plot and presents interesting opinions about the evil and the good in this world.
