This book is just WOW.  You will immediately invest yourself in the life and trouble of Janice. She is an incredibly strong girl who survived sexual parental abuse but at huge expense. Her brain compensates for the hurt and the emotion that her heart can't handle. It is amazing what the human mind can do and how it protects us from terrible memories and events in our lives.Janice stands accused of the violent murder of her abusive father and her fragmented memory and trauma make it impossible for her to even remember. The emotional roller coaster that Argo takes us on is all in one compelling, terrifying, and heart breaking. Janice, learning to trust in desperation leans on crime reporter Ray to help her regain her memory and make sense of the night when all the sudden Ray finds himself in mystery and intrigue.This is a true murder mystery with the very real and difficult subject matter of abuse surviving. The author expertly weaves the reality of trauma into a modern day mystery. It's a very well done novel that will keep you thinking for a few days after you read.
