Summary: This book reminds me of "After the Night" by Linda Howard
Comment: There are so many similarties that it's hard not to compaire the two. This book isn't at the level that "After the Night" but if you loved the book as I did then this one is for you.
Twenty years ago Jolie Royale came home and found her aunt and mother lying dead. While looking over her mother's dead body she is also shot several times. Jolie doesn't remember who the killer was and Lemar (The man who attents to her families lawn) is accussed of the murder. Fast forward twenty years later, Jolie's father has died and it time she has come back home. Jolie has mixed feelings about the whole thing, but she wants to put the whole thing behind her and move on. But to do that she has to face her stepmother whom her father married a year after her mother's death and her stepbrother Max whom she once had a school girl crush but can no longer stand. Soon things change and Jolie figures that it is now time to find out who really killed her mother, aunt and lemar with Max's help. But unearthing the old murder leads to a whole lot of trouble, while the real killer waiting for Jolie to remember.

Summary: Not bad!
Comment: This book was not an "I couldn't put it down" type of mystery, but it was good. I liked the main character, Jolie, but I wasn't too crazy about Max. This was my 1st book by this author and probably will not be the last.
Rating: 4
Summary: strong romantic suspense
Comment: Two decades ago in Sumarville, Mississippi, Jolie Royale barely escaped with her life, but her mother, aunt and the gardener were left dead. Though officially ruled a murder-suicide, as the gardener was allegedly her aunt's lover, Jolie knows better. Though she saw the face of the killer she cannot identify the person because she cannot recall what she actually seen.
Now her stepbrother Max Devereaux asks Jolie to return to her family's plantation, Belle Rose, for her father's funeral. Jolie would prefer to stay away from her hometown, not just because of the bad memories but also because she loves Max who hates the Royales. However, there are some folks who prefer that Jolie not come back including her stepsister. Amongst that crowd exists an individual who fears that the plantation may trigger memories so Jolie might recall a certain visage. That individual targets her as the next victim with only Max to protect her.
Though amnesia has been used a quadrillion times as a plot device, Beverly Barton provides a fresh tale due to a sizzling romance starring two engaging protagonists. The story line keeps the tension high, as the audience never knows who the culprit is until the tale is completed. Though the subplot involving the stepsister adds little depth except as a symbol of local antagonism to Jolie's return, readers will know that WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW is a strong romantic suspense.
