Black Out by Lisa Unger

This is a new book and for me, a new author. It's a thriller - but no spies, mob figures or bloody scenes. It's a psychological one. Annie Powers used to be Ophelia March. Her mother caused Ophelia a lot of grief and trauma as a young girl because after divorcing her husband she moved them to Florida and became involved with a convicted murderer. The whole story of what happened there is told in bits and pieces as a flashback. Today Annie is married to a wonderful guy (although her in-laws are not so wonderful) and they have a darling little girl. Annie has tried to deal with her past as best she can, but it still affects her. And lately she has become more afraid and is having more panic attacks. I loved this book. It kept me guessing with the old question - just who can you trust?????
