Seagrass Pier, book #26

Yes, I did in fact read this book in three days.  Yes, it is 336 pages.  Yes, my husband and kids felt a little ignored.  Yes, I was up until midnight finishing it.  But sometimes an amazing book comes along and you just can't help it.  (Think Redeeming Love!)  Now, not that I would put this one up with Redeeming Love, but I guess I was just seriously in the mood for some mystery, police, love, throw in a cute kid kind of book.  

This is the third in a series Colleen Coble has written about Hope Beach, which is somewhere near Virginia Beach.  It is a quaint little community that sounds like Seaside, FL, but trouble still abounds.  I mean, why else would she write books about it?!?!?  This is one a little similar to another book I read about cell memory, where Elin had a heart transplant and the memories of the person whose heart she received keep coming back.  Like, who killed the person in question that allowed Elin to have her heart. Completely intriguing.  But the end, well, you just have to read it for yourself!!

In a secluded corner of Hope Beach, one woman must decipher a stranger’s memories . . . before they cost her everything.
Elin Summerall was one of the lucky ones. Not only did she get a heart transplant, but the donor was a perfect fit. A miraculously perfect fit.
But when Elin begins having violent flashbacks—and vivid dreams of being strangled—she realizes that she has been the recipient of more than just a new heart . . . Elin is remembering her donor’s murder.
Her strange affliction has attracted some unwanted attention: from the press, from the authorities . . . and from the killer himself. Now, living alone with her young daughter and aging mother, Elin is being stalked—by a man she’s only met in her nightmares.
The police are dubious of her story, but one off-duty FBI agent agrees to help her: Agent Marc Everton.
Now, in a remote cottage on Hope Island, Elin and Marc must probe the secrets buried in her borrowed heart. And there’s no time to waste. One man is desperate to silence her—before she remembers too much. (picture and description at amazon)
