Romantic suspense - April has been in a mental institution for a decade after a bout of catatonic amnesia. She finally musters the courage to go "home" to attend the engagement party of a close family friend. An anonymous note warning her to stay away sets the scene for a tense story. April's life and sanity are threatened and she begins to have trouble discerning what is real and what isn't.The classic formula of a triangle is present, but in this book, it involves deep secrets that Spencer,  her adolescent flame is covering. Who killed Lily, April's vain and troubled mother, once a successful actress, who grappled with aging. Who can April trust? Who can she believe?It's a very good storyline. My major criticism is that most of the minor characters were not fleshed out. To me, they almost felt like decoys, to cast "reasonable doubt" on likely suspects.  I wanted MORE.  I would recommend this book.
