Wendy Walker, the Author of “American Girl,” has written an intense and captivating thriller. The Genres for this novel are Suspense, Thriller, Mystery, and Fiction. The author adds a “touch of class” when vividly describing her dramatic characters. I couldn’t put this book down; the twists and turns, betrayals, and ups and downs were riveting. Charlie Hudson is a 17-year-old autistic senior in high school who works long hours to afford to leave her town and go to college. Charlie works in a luncheonette and likes the predictability of preparing sandwiches and putting everything in its place. Charlie has made a family of sorts with her co-workers and feels protective of them. Charlie’s mother has always made her feel “different, and she is ambivalent towards her stepdad. Charlie regards her Mother’s advice as rules to live by.
When Clay Cooper’s body is found, there could be many suspects. Clay Cooper was Charlie’s boss and owned many businesses in town. His conducting his business and personal life had many people angry with him. Unfortunately, Charlie is caught on camera leaving the scene of the crime. Charlie is not considered a suspect, but what does she know that can put her friends, family, and herself in danger?
Charlie has the ability to remember numbers and may hold important evidence and clues to solve this case. Can she do this and protect everyone? I highly recommend this thrilling novel.
