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!

What if the nightmares are actually memories?
It’s been a year since Poppy’s husband, Jack, was brutally
murdered during his morning run through Manhattan’s
Riverside Park. In the immediate aftermath, Poppy spiraled
into an oblivion of grief, disappearing for several days
only to turn up ragged and confused wearing a tight red
dress she didn’t recognize. What happened to Poppy during
those lost days? And more importantly, what happened to Jack?
The case was never solved, and Poppy has finally begun to
move on. But those lost days have never stopped haunting
her. Poppy starts having nightmares and blackouts—there are
periods of time she can’t remember, and she’s unable to tell
the difference between what is real and what she’s
imagining. When she begins to sense that someone is
following her, Poppy is plunged into a game of cat and
mouse, determined to unravel the mystery around her
husband’s death. But can she handle the truth about what
really happened?
