Former movie star Jenna Hughes left Hollywood for an isolated farm in Oregon to get away from fame. But someone has followed her—an obsessed fan whose letters are personal and deeply disturbing. While Jenna's already shaken up by what she's seen on paper, she'd be terrified if she knew what Sheriff Shane Carter is investigating. It's a shocking case that started with the discovery of a dead woman in the woods. Now two more women are missing, one of whom bears a striking resemblance to Jenna. As a winter storm bears down on the Pacific Northwest, a merciless killer's grisly work has only just begun. Jenna is getting closer to meeting her biggest fan—one who wants nothing more than to see her dead.

      When beautiful Jenna Hughes moves with her two children to a small Oregon town in bestseller Jackson's well-crafted romantic thriller, the retired movie star expects to start a quiet new life, but a psychotic fan's deadly obsession soon throws the tranquil community into chaos. One by one, women are kidnapped by a serial killer who hopes to mold them into the likeness of his favorite actress, and Jenna knows that it's only a matter of time before she's the next victim. Jackson (The Morning After
      ) weaves together various subplots, including Jenna's relationship with her rebellious teenage daughter and the inevitable love interest with the rugged local cop, to create a fast-paced and surprisingly complex story. Unfortunately, the focus on the villain's absolute evil rather than on his humanity doesn't allow him to be as disturbing as he could be, but most of the other smalltown characters are more believable. The depiction of the protagonist, a woman who desperately wants her life to be as normal as possible, reaches an unusual depth, and the crisp, skillful language infuses every sentence with suspense. Despite some predictable moments and over-the-top torture scenes, this chilling novel about the high price of fame will keep readers riveted. Agent, Robin Rue.

      Jenna Hughes wants only to leave Hollywood and have a normal life with her children in rural Oregon. But she can't escape her celebrity simply by changing locations--a homicidal stalker follows her north. Carol Monda offers competent portrayals of Jenna and the story's secondary characters, especially Jenna's daughters. The listener can almost see the older teen rolling her eyes in annoyance and the younger girl struggling between childhood and maturity. If the listener can tune out the incessant reference to any moving vehicle as a "rig," the narrative passages flow smoothly as well. However, skip the epilogue--it serves no purpose save to introduce the next book. R.L.L. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
