The Day I Died

The Day I Died by Lori Rader-Day, 406 pages

“Anna Winger can know people better than they know themselves with only a glance--at their handwriting. Hired out by companies wanting to land trustworthy employees and by the lovelorn hoping to find happiness, Anna likes to keep the real-life mess of other people at arm's length and on paper. But when she is called to use her expertise on a note left behind at a murder scene in the small town she and her son have recently moved to, the crime gets under Anna's skin and rips open her narrow life for all to see. To save her son--and herself--once and for all, Anna will face her every fear, her every mistake, and the past she thought she'd rewritten.” This was a fascinating, unexpected story.  It definitely fits under psychological thriller but it was a quitter book than that.  The thrill didn’t really come in until the end.  The story was compelling and I would give this to anyone who likes thrillers.
