Product Description:
Sanity is not something you lose, like your car keys or that elusive sock in the dryer. That's what Ian believed before his mother stepped over the edge from sane to crazy. No one is able to give Ian a reasonable explanation. Corinne suffers from severe memory loss, odd behavior, and paranoid delusions. Or at least Ian had been told they were delusions. After all, who would be hiding outside watching his mother? And why? Ian hires private investigator Lucianna Martel to retrace the events of his mother's last sane day. During Lucianna's investigation, she and Ian learn that Corinne may not be so crazy after all.

Hit List if full of surprising plot twists and nerve racking suspense. Even though alternating between several different viewpoints, it was not confusing or irritating and served to further the plot and develop the characters. Ian's love for his mother was touching and I liked the fact that he refused to institutionalize her, but instead did everything he could to help her and to find out what caused her sudden insanity. Lucianna was a great character, smart and funny, and I liked how her relationship ... Read More

"After he found his mother, Corrine, that fateful day, Ian moves ... Read More

The multi-dimensional characters in Darcia Helle's Hit List pulled me into the story immediately. They held their grip on me through all the twists and turns and refused to let go until the very last page. I can't wait to read more of her books.

This is a book I did not need a bookmark for, I couldn't put it down.
A thoroughly enjoyable ride, if you enjoy crime stories. It had a good plot line that was slowly revealed throughout the storyline, leaving mysteries to discover all the way till the last pages. A sweet romance is slowly woven into the action and doesn't feel out of place. A modern psychological thriller, good to the last page. Highly recommended.

Are "they" out there, watching her?
