This suspense story wastes no time in getting started.
Assistant District Attorney Madison Callaghan is attacked
out of the blue and a sinister threat uttered. Only, when
aid arrives, and poor Maddy awakens in hospital, she has
lost her memory. CHRISTMAS AMNESIA continues at breakneck
pace as Maddy teams up with Officer Noah Sinclair of the
Milwaukee PD and tries to evade the criminal gang that does
not want her to testify. The gang doesn't know she can't
recall her evidence. She can't even think of her computer
passwords.
I enjoyed the way the two have to learn to rely on each
other, as sometimes they are in a cabin on a snowy
mountainside, and at other times they know they may be
followed through streets. My favorite scene however sees
Noah and Maddy liberating a boat and taking off down Lake
Michigan at night, from a starting point north of Chicago.
I can imagine the bitter cold on the open water at a wintry
time of year.
While this is third in the Callahan Confidential series,
I am sure a reader new to author Laura Scott will have no
trouble settling in to characters and locations. The
confusion is all Maddy's, due to that inconvenient case of
CHRISTMAS AMNESIA. This romantic suspense story has a
slight inspirational touch and is suitable for adults or
teens - provided they like excitement.
Assaulted a week before a high-profile drug trafficking
trial, assistant district attorney Madison Callahan
narrowly escapes death…but suffers amnesia. Now, when she
can't recall the identity of her attacker, everyone is
suspect—except the handsome policeman who saved her.
Officer Noah Sinclair will do anything to bring the mob-
connected drug trafficker to justice, including providing
personal protection to Madison—the sister of the partner
he nearly got killed. But helping her regain her memory
may end their unlikely alliance because once she remembers
him, Noah might be the last man she'll want to rely on. As
the trial looms and with the assailant dead set on
ensuring that Madison doesn't survive to see Christmas,
it'll take everything Noah's got to keep Madison alive.
