In The Breakdown by B. A. Paris, on a stormy night Cass passes a car off the road in the woods. She thinks about stopping to help, but after thinking about worst case scenarios, decides to drive on. The next day she finds out the woman is dead and that she knew her Does she tell the police what she saw? Can she stop blaming herself for not stopping? Will she tell anyone?
I thought this book was very good! The pace is well done and the story is believable. I enjoyed this author's first book, Behind Closed Doors and this book is just as good, if not better!
(Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
The Breakdown by B. A. Paris is full of mystery. Cass, the main character, last sees her new friend through her car window on a dark road during a storm on her way home from a party. Her friend's car is stopped on the side of the road but does not appear to be in need of help. The next day though, Cass hears on the news that her friend was killed! Then the silent phone calls start up and Cass gets freaked out. Plus, not only is Cass upset about the murder but she notices she keeps forgetting things and is afraid she has early dementia!
This book is a disturbing read because strange things keep happening with Cass. I can't say too much without giving things away but it is a very good mystery. I got into it right away and looked forward to getting back to it. Things really picked up and got interesting in the second half, so don't give up on it! I highly recommend this book and only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the turning point was far-fetched and pretty unbelievable.
