Romance Suspense
HELLO AGAIN by Brenda Novak is the second book in The Evelyn
Talbot Chronicles Book Series and is a romantic
suspense
novel. The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles is turning out to be a
very interesting and suspenseful series with a completely
complex plot that continues to draw in more thrilling
dangerous suspense. The second book does not disappoint and
gets even better than the first if that's even possible. This time around Novak takes us into the backstory of Evelyn
Talbot and allows us to see the main character's past and
even gives us a glimpse at what the future might hold. This
makes me even more excited for the next book in this series!
Novak writes with such grace and poise that even the murder
scenes are not overly graphic or disgusting but instead give
just enough to leave you terrifyingly on the edge of your
seat. You may even stay awake at night! She also takes a
closer look at how the relationship Evelyn has with her
boyfriend is strain by the stresses of the job. There is a lot of criminology and investigator influences
throughout this novel which really helps to make the story
seem lifelike. The setting and plotline go hand in hand
making you second guess yourself from page to page. I was
drawn in from page one and with each page, I wanted to know
more. I was not sure what was about to happen or what was
around the next turn. The author does an outstanding job in
creating a novel that seems so real. I found the ending to
be a complete surprise and left me wanting to read the next
book in this series even more. I definitely would recommend
this book to anyone who loves suspense thrillers.
SUMMARY
From NYT bestseller Brenda Novak comes the next installment
of Dr. Evelyn Talbot and her murderous home for psychopaths
in Hello Again. SHE CAN MAKE SENSE OF A COMPLEX CRIMINAL MIND. Evelyn Talbot, a psychiatrist at a maximum-security prison
in Alaska, studies some of the world's worst serial killers.
But she’s about to meet her most elusive patient at Hanover
House yet: Dr. Lyman Bishop, AKA the Zombie Maker given his
fondness for performing ice-pick lobotomies on his victims.
A brilliant cancer researcher, Bishop is either the most
cunning psychopath Evelyn has ever encountered—or he is
wrongly convicted. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CRIMINAL CAN SEE INTO HER OWN? When a new ice-pick fatality occurs, it seems Bishop really
was wrongly convicted. Except...Evelyn has a personal
connection to the victim and that suggests the killer
may be someone from her own past: Jasper Moore, her high
school boyfriend who tortured her and left her for dead when
she was only sixteen. Jasper also murdered three of her
friends—and was never caught. Is he trying to send a message
with this copycat crime? The only thing Evelyn knows for
sure is that if Jasper is on her trail, she might not
be able to escape again . . .
