Flash by Tim Tigner

Genre: Thriller
Click book cover for Amazon.com
Sometimes the idea behind a book just grabs you and doesn't let go.  That happened to me when I read a blurb describing Flash.  Sebastion Troy wakes up in the trunk of a car, covered in the blood of the dead policeman next to him.  Emerald Green (Emmy) wakes up in the front seat of the same car with blood on her and the gun she is holding.  If that isn't enticing enough, both of them realize that they are six years older than they remember being. Military doctor Troy, and grifter Emmy, need to find out what they are doing in Grand Cayman, and who or what caused them to lose all memories of the same periods of their respective lives.

I found these two characters interesting, and they captivated me from the start.  I do take into consideration that all "thriller" books begin with people in impossible situations who are miraculously able to save themselves and solve all mysteries.  That premise takes a great deal of suspension of belief to really enjoy, and I look for plots that are somewhat new to me.  This one fit that requirement, and I found myself being drawn back each time I left it. 

The characters are nicely developed and the descriptions are complete without being monotonous.  The author knows how to keep the suspense going and then treats us with bits of humanity.  There is a bit of romance and a great deal of mystery.  There are strange tattoos and naked escapes. Bad guys are interesting...lawyers, politicians...and reading about their plans and use of a memory drug did cause my heart to speed up in parts.

I chose to write this review before I got to the end (though I am close) because I didn't want to be swayed by it.  This is really a fun book, and I highly recommend it.  When a conclusion disappoints me, I tend to dump the book.  This one deserves a review, so here it is.  If the end is a bummer, I will note that in my blog.
