The Girl with a Clock for a Heart

A Novel

By: Peter Swanson

Narrated by: Paul Boehmer

Already optioned for film, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is Peter Swanson’s electrifying tale of romantic noir, with shades of Hitchcock and reminiscent of the classic movie Body Heat. It is the story of a man swept into a vortex of irresistible passion and murder when an old love mysteriously reappears.

On an ordinary Friday evening at his favorite Boston tavern, George Foss’s comfortable, predictable life is shattered when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, a woman who vanished without a trace twenty years ago.

Liana Dector isn’t just an ex-girlfriend, the first love George couldn’t quite forget. She’s also a dangerous enigma and quite possibly a cold-blooded killer wanted by the police. Suddenly, she’s back—and she needs George’s help. Ruthless men believe she stole some money . . . and they will do whatever it takes to get it back.

George knows Liana is trouble. But he can’t say no—he never could—so he makes a choice that will plunge him into a terrifying whirlpool of lies, secrets, betrayal, and murder from which there is no sure escape.

Bold and masterful, full of malicious foreboding and subtle surprises, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is an addictive, nonstop thriller—an ever-tightening coil of suspense that grips you right up to its electrifying end.

No ending

The story was page turning and very enchanting. Then it just kind of ended. There was no real conclusion. I was waiting for another chapter and very disappointed in that it the rest was great

You can't win them all

I found this book to be just OK. Not as compelling as some others by Peter Swanson.

Not horrible, but not my favorite.

I love mystery and thrillers, but for some reason this audiobook didn't capture my attention like others do. It was a little slow, and all in all, not that great of a story.

Decent

Solid book though (in my opinion) not as good as The Kind Worth Killing which was EXCELLENT.

Unfinished -disappointing

This book regrettably stops in the middle of the story. Sometimes this technique is used by authors to leave something to the imagination. In this case the author seems to have been overwhelmed by his own story line and simply did not know how to get out of it. So next best thing: Here - reader you do the work. Disappointed
