"Author of more than 20 novels of romance and suspense and three works of nonfiction, Hinze has written a masterful, complicated tale of suspense that gains momentum with each turn of a page. Her writing flows surely, moving from one character to the next, one setting to another, with readers keeping the swift pace. . Benjamin Brandt, owner of the Crossroads Crisis Center, hasn't set foot in the center since his wife and son were murdered a few years earlier. Then Susan comes to the center, beaten and battered, suffering a case of amnesia, and also bearing a close resemblance to Benjamin's deceased wife, also named Susan, and wearing the dead woman's cross necklace. The two clash at first, but even as murders occur around them, the tension between them relaxes. Still, there is a mystery to be solved involving Susan's identity and a past that must be reckoned with before either can move ahead. Hinze's plot may have readers puzzling over how this tangled tale will ever resolve itself, but that underestimates the author's talent for transforming the unlikely into something beautiful." from Amazon.com

My thoughts:
Forget Me Not by Vicki Hinze is a fast reading suspenseful story with the main characters living on the edge of sanity and are drawn together to solve the mystery of Ben's loss of his wife and son and"Susan", who does not know who she is and why people are trying to kill her, knows that somehow she is linked to the Ben's loss.
I liked "Susan" because even against the odds of her surviving the attempts on her life she keeps her faith in God intact in spite of her tortuous past that she is slowly remembering.  Her life as she knows it is turned upside down but she finds that many people at the Crossroads Crisis Center want to help her find out who she is and why she is in jeopardy of being killed. She is a strong determined woman and as she slowly remembers who she is, she knows what her goal in life is and  she wants to help other people down on their luck. She knows that God is always with her in good and bad. Ben is going through the motions of his life every day but finds in "Susan" a person that he can confide in and they are becoming involved in a romantic sense even though he has lost his faith and her faith is strong, there is just some spark of something there. There are also some really nasty and self centered characters in this story of greed and murder.This first book in the Crossroads Crisis Center is a great start in this series with likeable and some not so likeable characters and enough suspense to keep the story interesting. It is an enjoyable read.
