In this debut novel, readers meet Maya seven years after her best friend, Aubrey, suddenly dies while talking to Frank, Maya's romantic interest. No cause of death was ever determined. Maya was certain Frank was responsible, but she didn't know how to prove it. As she tries to get off drugs, she happens upon a video in which another young woman dies while talking to Frank. Once again, Maya is certain of Frank's involvement and is determined to find out just what Frank has done and how.
This unique story is told in both the past and the present. The Maya of seven years ago and the Maya of today are very different people. Tension is constant throughout the entire narrative as Maya looks for answers and explanations for happenings that have troubled her for years. Who is Frank really, and what is he capable of?
I found THE HOUSE IN THE PINES to be a well-plotted psychological mystery.
