Shadow Woman by Linda HowardMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
SHADOW WOMAN by Linda Howard opens up with a spectacular prologue. US president shot by his wife! Cut to Chapter 1 – Lizette Henry wakes up one morning and doesn’t recognize her face in the mirror. She remembers what she looked like and it’s certainly not the face looking at her from the mirror. She also remembers the last two years of her life…before that she has no recollection.
As she begins to remember more, she realizes that something was done to her and that she’s in danger from unknown people, who have been keeping tabs on her for the last two years.
Forced to go on the run, trying to avoid being killed and determined to find out what happened to her.
Dangerous people involved in a conspiracy that are determined to do anything to kill anyone who poses a danger to them.
I liked the first couple of chapters. The tension and suspense as Lizette tries to finding the answers to what had been done to her.
Being chased by the bad buys and followed by the shadowy Xavier, who is part of the conspiracy but happens to be the good guy here.
I would have liked Lizzie and Xavier to have more interaction with each other. They only get together almost at the end and most of the story is the thoughts in their heads. The lack of romance was lacking….again nothing happens until the end ….except for Lizzie’s erotic dreams about a dark man that she’s named X.
I found the plot interesting and intriguing and the ending where all is revealed, quite clever even if a bit implausible.
