"Love and loss, tragedy and trauma — this family-centred psychic thriller is a suspenseful, immersive feat."
Mind Games, Nora Roberts’ latest page-turner, is driven by a set of vividly-conjured characters across generations and decades. Rippling with the barely-contained undercurrents of family tragedy, and the implications of an inherited psychic gift that feels more like a curse, it’s tremendously suspenseful, and will have fans of the writer’s special brand of thriller on the very edge of their seats.
“For Thea, the best part of summer started the second week of June” when her family “started the long drive from Fredericksburg, Virginia, to Redbud Hollow, Kentucky” to see her beloved Grammie. Then, on one fateful occasion, 12-year-old Thea’s parents are murdered by a serial killer as they drive home from dropping her at Grammie’s. At the same time, both Thea and Grammie experience the same prophetic nightmare, thanks to their shared psychic gift.
Though the murderer winds up behind bars thanks to Thea’s assistance, and though she finds a way to build a new life, it seems there’s no way to escape this horrific tragedy — she shares a psychic bond with the man who killed her parents. A cruel connection that sees her hear his every thought, and see his every action.
