I have read several books by Heather Day Gilbert and enjoyed them all. Queen of Hearts<\/em> is more of a psychological suspense tale than the others but\u00a0 wow, what a story!<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Queen of Hearts is masterfully crafted with so many twists and surprises as well as mounting suspense with each page that I couldn\u2019t put it down. I honestly was astonished by the revelation at the end. I thought Alexandra\u2019s character was well rounded and found her autistic actions to be quite believable.<\/p>\n If you enjoy psychological suspense, please take a chance on Queen of Hearts. I believe you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Netgalley. A favorable review was not required.
