Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Run off the road, investigative journalist Emma Lyons awakens with no memory of who she is or what happened. And researching her own past with Deputy Liam McCourt quickly leads to a killer who wants them silenced. Branded outsiders in a sleepy Texas town full of dark secrets, can they escape an unknown threat dead set on robbing Emma of her past—and future?


My Review:
Killer Amnesia is a Christian romantic suspense novel. I'm a little tired of suspense novels based around amnesia, but I decided to give this one a try anyway. Emma survives a potentially fatal hit-and-run but can't remember who was in the other vehicle or what true crime she was looking into for her next book. Who wants her dead? And not only is someone trying to kill her before her memory returns but that person is setting up her and the detective to take the blame for several murders.

The suspense came from trying to survive while uncovering whodunit and also from the detective potentially being called away to testify in court at any time. Emma was brave and knew some self-defense, but she also knew when she could use some help. The hero felt like he wasn't worthy of her trust because he'd previously let someone down who had depended on him. The main characters were engaging, and I cared about what happened to them. They both questioned why God sometimes doesn't step in to prevent suffering but learned to trust God when life felt out of control. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
