With flooding, memory loss, and search and rescue, you’d think this book had plenty to keep you busy, wouldn’t you? But Jessica R. Patch kicks it into even higher gear with a heroine I will describe as a female Jason Bourne with a conscience.

Thanks to retrograde amnesia, Grace Thackery doesn’t remember anything before the last two years of her life. Her quiet life in little Cottonwood, Mississippi is upended when people start showing up trying to harm her. And she’s got some serious skills that kick in when she’s in danger. But where did she learn them? Is she a superhero or a supervillain?

The friendship between Grace and Hollister (the man who found Grace and is now her best friend), their bantering, Hollister’s encouragement and pride in Grace’s skills, and his assurance that no matter her past, she’s a new creature in her faith are all spot-on.

A strong female lead that can take on her attackers, a town slowly going underwater, and a plethora of people who want Grace dead had me zipping through Recovered Secrets from beginning to end. This is Patch’s best book yet.

I am still out of breath from that read! Recovered Secrets is the newest novel by Jessica Patch. I could not put it down! I have loved her books since the beginning, but they just keep getting better and better. Grace was found in a small town in Mississippi with amnesia. She begins a new life there as she has no idea who she is, where she is from, or how she got there. The action starts on page one as some people from Grace's former life have found her. It's a race against time for Grace to figure out who she is and why these people want her dead. Great characters, action-packed, page-turning suspense, and just the right amount of romance.

I was given a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. ( )
