It's been a year since Poppy lost her husband, Jack, who was brutally murdered during a run through Manhattan's Riverside Park. She has never truly gotten over his death. And stranger still is the fact that Poppy disappeared after the funeral and later shows up in a tight red dress before collapsing. Poppy doesn't have a clue to what happened to her during those days, and the murder of Jack is still unsolved. Poppy is having nightmares and blackouts, and she has problems telling the difference between what is real and what's not. And now, she feels that she's being followed. Could it be all the pills she's taking or is someone actually following her?

UNDER MY SKIN is the first novel I have read by Lisa Unger. I have previously read a short novella and found it good, which left me wanting to try out one of her full-length novels, and this one was right up my alley. I found the writing of UNDER MY SKIN to be top-notch. This is just my kind of thriller. I'm not always a fan of unstable female main characters, but Poppy is so well-developed, you can feel her grief through the pages. One has to wonder, is she just imagining things or she followed? Could the murderer be after Poppy? What happened during the days she was missing? Who can she really trust? Lots of questions and the only way to find out is to read the book. I will not divulge more since I find that thrillers are best read without being spoiled. All I will say is that this is a darn good book and if you are a thriller fan then you definitely should read this book!

I found UNDER MY SKIN to be an excellent thriller and I can't wait to read more books by Lisa Unger!
