kiss
Ted Dekker collaborates with Erin Healy on this mystery thriller with political and religious overtones. Not as overtly Christian as many of Ted’s novels, kiss tells the story of a woman who wakes up in a hospital knowing who she is, but not how she got there. At her side is a man who claims to be her fiance, but she has no recollection of him. She has family, but they do not visit. She is told she is the cause of a major accident and that charges will be filed against her. It is not a good situation for the daughter of a man who is running for president, or for the man himself.
As the story unfolds, we discover that Shauna has developed a surprising ability which is helping her to fill in the blank spaces of her life. But the more she learns, the more danger she is in. You will have to read the book to discover the rest, dear reader.
This is a completely different style from what we saw from Dekker in the Red-Black-White Trilogy. It threw me off a little in the beginning, but I definely like him as a mystery/crime writer. Dekker is collaborating with Healy on a new novel, out early next year.
