Suspense

Jules and Kian finally have everything that anyone could ask for. They struck it rich by winning a huge lottery, aAnd finally, have the child that they had always hoped for. This happy couple also restored an old restaurant. Who could ask for more?

Amelia was an only child and very different from other children. Amelia was brought up by very wealthy parents and got whatever she wanted, but she has a very deep secret. She adored her father, but could care less about her mother.

Several years later, a tragic occurrence involving all of them, turns everyone's life around. Daisy, Jules and Kian's daughter, disappears. Daisy had taken Amelia under her wing, until Amelia gets a little too weird for her. Daisy had gotten a phone call from Amelia stated that she needed to see her right away and that was the last time that Jules and Kian had seen their daughter.

Jules and Kian are beside themselves with worry, where could Daisy be? As they later found out, she has been murdered. Prime suspect, Amelia, along with Dean who has always been a life time friend of Daisy, so the family finds that his involvement beyond belief. At the trial Amelia is sentenced to five years in jail but Dean gets a lot longer.

Jules gets a phone call after several years to let her know that Amelia is getting released. Jules is beside herself, how can they let her out so early? Now what, THE GIRL WHO CAME BACK, is trying to get a hold of Jules.

I have always enjoyed books by Susan Lewis. I really like her writing style. There is a combination of love and mystery. Susan Lewis also shows a side of people with mental problems. Something in this day and age, people seem to overlook. It also, shows how family members either don't want to really see what is going on or just tend to ignore it. THE GIRL WHO CAME BACK really is an interesting read. Buy it, read it, love it.

SUMMARY

For readers of Diane Chamberlain and Heather Gudenkauf comes a gripping novel of suspense about a mother determined to avenge her daughter’s murder—no matter the cost to her husband, to her family, and to herself.

When Jules Bright hears a knock on the door, the last person she expects to find is a detective bringing her the news she’s feared for the last three years.

Amelia Quentin is being released from prison.

Jules’s life now is very different from the one she knew before Amelia shattered it completely. Knowing the girl is coming back, Jules must decide what to do. Friends and family gather around, fearing for Jules’s safety. They know that justice was never served; each of them wants to make the Quentin girl pay.

The question is: What will Jules do?

And which of them—she or Amelia—has the most to fear?
