All a bit ho-hum really. This was a good premise that unfortunately wasn't handled as well as it could have been.

The entire set up was just a bit too complicated, so that it became necessary to do a very abrupt info dump at the end to explain just who did what and why two out of three brothers turned into psychopaths while the third didn't.

Again, the characters had potential, but sadly didn't quite live up to it.

I feel Body Work was an okay way to pass a few hours, but nothing mind blowing. This was a library book and I'm glad I didn't spend my money on it. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0778322890, Mass Market Paperback)

The killer liked him women young and defenseless.

He was never caught.

As a child, Jane Gale witnessed her mother's murder and was nearly killed in trying to escape. Left for dead, she has suffered complete memory loss, unable to recall who she was before the accident or the events that caused her mother's death. Twenty-five years later, Jane has a new life and a blossoming career as a novelist -- until the killer picks up her book and discovers that the only eyewitness to his secrets has survived. And told.

Oblivious to the fact that she has attracted the murderer back into her life, Jane has no idea where the inspiration for her bestseller came from. But she has a photograph that leads her back to Louisiana, to a place she knows but can't remember -- and to a stranger she wants to trust. Because somehow he is a link to her past . . . and her only chance of staying alive.
