Mind Tryst by Robyn Carr
So this is the first and only book that I have read by Robyn Carr. I have a lot of her other books in my collection, I just haven't had a chance to get to them. This I believe was a suggestion from someone at the bookstore that I used to work at before I even started working there. I think I was closer to 16 years-old when I read this. So during this time I think I was starting to read a lot of historical romance and V.C. Andrews so this was a different type of novel that what I was use to. This is considered to be part of the psychological/suspense/thriller/mystery genre. While I do remember there being an intimate scene there wasn't love or romance in the story.
The book follows Jackie Sheppard who has moved to a small town in the Colorado Rockies after the tragic death of her young son. She works at a small family law firm, meets Tom a local carpenter, but Jackie can't help distrust others. Which hinders her relationships. However as she moves on in this little town disturbing things start to happen to Jackie. Objects are moved, an imprint of a body shows up on her made bed, a bouquet of wildflowers are left by her door. Soon she find out more about Tom's checkered past and soon finds herself the next target of a sadistic killer.
This was for sure one of those stories that have kept a lasting memory just because at the time I was pretty much stuck in a rut. I was kind of surprised by the lack of romance at the time but it fit with in the plot. The back story for the main character was very well written so you understand where the character came from before the bulk of the story starts. This was an enjoyable book but I have to be honest, I don't pick it up that often like I might others, but I still remember a lot of this book.
