Kill her Again - Robert Gregory Browne

Thanks to PanMacmillan for providing a copy of this.

Anna has been having strange visions of a child's murder and becomes embroiled in a case that seems oddly linked to it. Hypnotherapist Danny Pope is called in to help a child in the new case access memories and between them he and Anna discover there is much more to this case than coincidence.

Kill her again is a thriller, with supernatural elements. It's a quick read and a page turner, although not my usual material. I felt there were too many layers and too many neat tie ins, especially in the additional thread of Tony and Sharkey, I think the story would have benefited from keeping it clearer in some ways. The plot struck me as quite like Audrey Rose, although I never managed to finish that book and this was easy to get through.

Overall not bad, quite well paced with some likeable characters. It put me very much in mind of the earlier Dean Koontz novels that I used to love so if you like Koontz chances are you'll enjoy this one. The advantage over Koontz was that McBride did a lot of ass kicking herself rather than waiting to be rescued and it not a retriever to be found.

It's not quite there for me but I was possibly unfair reading a book I wouldn't normally buy after the utter brilliance of Alan Campbell. Kill Her Again is a little like the Da Vinci Code (but better written and more consistent) light, quick, hard to put down, but it won't stay with me once the cover is closed.
