MY REVIEW:

I have read several books by Heather Day Gilbert and enjoyed them all. Queen of Hearts is more of a psychological suspense tale than the others but  wow, what a story!

In it best-selling romantic suspense novelist Alexandra Dubois is haunted by a stalker. When things escalate Alexandra finally agrees to hide out at the remote cabin offered by her editor. Strange events continue at the cabin that cause Alexandra to doubt her sanity and wonder if her stalker has found her again.

Queen of Hearts is masterfully crafted with so many twists and surprises as well as mounting suspense with each page that I couldn’t put it down. I honestly was astonished by the revelation at the end. I thought Alexandra’s character was well rounded and found her autistic actions to be quite believable.

If you enjoy psychological suspense, please take a chance on Queen of Hearts. I believe you will not be disappointed.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Netgalley. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Her readers love her…
but one has gotten a little too attached.

Alexandra Dubois, a NYT bestselling author, has made a name for herself by crafting twisted serial killers in her romantic suspense series. When threatening notes from an “invested reader” escalate into violence, Alex has to admit she’s not safe in her own home. Although her autism makes any changes to her routine difficult, she reluctantly accepts her editor’s advice to fly to his sprawling vacation home in West Virginia so she can focus on her looming deadline.

Fighting paranoia that the stalker has discovered her mountain hideaway, Alex still forces herself to write several chapters in her novel. But when a thunderstorm leaves her stranded and she hears a knock at her door, she’s about to discover that life truly is stranger than fiction.

Fans of Alfred Hitchcock, Mary Higgins Clark, and Misery are sure to be hooked by this clean, fast-paced domestic thriller by RWA Daphne Award-winning author Heather Day Gilbert.
