Fast Forward

by Judy Mercer

Book Overview

Her memory has vanished--all "Ariel" knows in her panic is that she is injured in a ransacked house in L.A., lying near a blood-caked shirt and a gun. Concealing her amnesia, she starts to improvise her life, uncovering a turbulent past, and a present linked to the worlds of modeling, the New York theater--and to murder.

Customer Reviews

Fast Forward is Right!

This is the kind of book you read quickly, because nowhere seems a good place to stop. There are too many intriguing questions waiting to be answered. Yes, there are some potentially implausible turns and amnesia is always a tough sell, but those factors only demonstrate what a terrific story-teller Mercer is. I raced merrily through the pages (with my suspended disbelief stumbling along behind), eager to find out what was really going on. A fun read.

A fun-to-read mystery

This book was a lot of fun to read. I enjoyed the characters very much. Five stars.

FAST FORWARD a fast read

Met the author at a book signing at Poisoned Pen while vacationing in Scottsdale and was taken by her genuineness. Loved the book and feel I have discovered a new writer to look forward to. Characters are well developed and one can easily care about them. I certainly am interested in the continuing relationships. Well resolved and has me ready to pick up the next one in the Ariel series ASAP.

This book is hard to put down!

Imagine waking up with partial amnesia (you know about most things, but not your personal history, who you used to know, or anything about what you do for a living). That's bad enough, but what if you think you are in the wrong body? To add a little excitement, your house has been turned upside down, and your shirt is covered with blood. To make matters even worse, you are soon forced into killing somebody. The situation goes downhill from there. This is one of the most exciting books I have read in a long time. It is the author's first novel. My wife and I couldn't put the book down. If you like mysteries and outstanding character development, this book is for you. In fact, the book was so good that I wrote a letter to the author, congratulating her. That is a first for me, and I am an avid reader!
