Book Description:
When successful model Ciara Kelly wakes up in hospital, remembering nothing of the weeks she has been missing, her only clues are the ugly words carved into her skin.
According to the police she was a victim of the Cutter, a serial killer who has already murdered three women. For her protection the police and her doctors give a press conference, announcing that because her amnesia is organically caused, her memory loss is permanent.
But, whether her memory returns or not is anybody’s guess. Overnight, Ciara’s glamorous life is gone. Her scars have killed both her modelling career and her relationship with her rich boyfriend.
With nothing to keep her in New York, she returns to her home town of Seattle, moves in with her sister and goes about building a new life. But when her sister lets it slip that Ciara’s memory is returning, the killer comes after her again. If Ciara is to stay alive, she must keep one step ahead of the Cutter.
“Scar Tissue” by M.C. Domovitch was a
suspenseful read. For me, it was a murder mystery that was actually a mystery.
This was a book that kept me guessing as I
was reading it. It seemed like everyone could literally be a suspect for the
crime that was committed against Ciera Kelly. Ciara is our main character and a
former model. The book opens with Ciara running for her life after being
kidnapped and tortured.
Now, scared and traumatized, her whole world has changed. Ciara’s memory of what happened to her is gone, and she can’t remember who did it to her or what all exactly happened. She can no longer be a model, and instead moves in with her sister and starts to work at a morgue as a makeup artist for the dead.
Now, scared and traumatized, her whole world has changed. Ciara’s memory of what happened to her is gone, and she can’t remember who did it to her or what all exactly happened. She can no longer be a model, and instead moves in with her sister and starts to work at a morgue as a makeup artist for the dead.
Just when Ciara starts to become
comfortable in her new life, she starts having flashes of memory. It’s not long
after that that information gets out and her would-be murderer decides he needs
to finish the job. So Ciara’s life is in turmoil once again as she goes on the run
and tries to figure out what happened to her.
I enjoyed how Domovitch set the story.
There was ample time given for it to develop in a reasonable fashion (the story
takes place over a few years’ time) instead of all the events being rushed one
right after the other. I also really enjoyed Ciara’s character. She’s not the
type who sits back and lets things happen to her. Instead she takes things in
to her own hands. Ciara thinks on her feet, and is a main character that’s easy
to root for.
“Scar Tissue” was an enjoyable and fast read.
I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys mysteries or crime novels.
The one thing all of her novels have in common is that they are page-turners. Start reading a Domovitch novel in the evening at your own risk.
Asked if there is any truth to the rumor that she is the love child of Sidney Sheldon and Jackie Collins, she insists that she was born in Ontario Canada, the daughter of school teachers who taught her the joy of reading at a young age.
Domovitch lives with her physician husband and their two Yorkies. They divide their time between homes in Toronto Canada and Key Largo Florida.
M.C.’s tenth novel, Seeing Evil, the second of her Mindsight series, is due out in the fall of 2016.
