About Roxanne: A Psychological Thriller Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
An intense & fantastic thriller!! Along the lines of Gone Girl and Girl on the Train, Atwood's insights into a troubled mind leave you breathless from suspense.
From the author of Unlikely Return and Free Fall

Roxanne has a loving husband, two adorable daughters, and a shining career in law. But it is not enough to eclipse her addiction to the perfect gin martini. Until a near-fatal, head-on collision changes everything. After waking from a coma, which stimulates old, buried memories, she sets out on a dangerous quest to uncover the truth of her high school best friend’s long ago, tragic death.

But her quest puts her in the sights of someone with horrifying secrets, and everything to lose. Will she get to the truth, and back to her life in a new, addiction free way? Or will someone silence her forever?

READERS LOVE ABOUT ROXANNE:

Five Star Read. I found Ms. Atwood’s storytelling to be exceptional. Full of twists and turns, once you begin reading you won’t be able to put it down. When looking for a 5-star read, there are many boxes that a book must check off to achieve that rating and without hesitation, this book checks every single box. A must read for all thriller fans. – M. Fuller

Warning: You won't get any sleep. Nina Atwood is a "smart" writer. Her stories have twists, and her characters are interesting, but flawed. Once again, her latest, About Roxanne, doesn't disappoint. Great read. However, save for a night you don't need to get up early the next day. You won't want to put it down. – L. Swindling

Great Thriller. Couldn't Put It Down! She’s done it again. Again! Atwood starts us out slowly, draws us in and then begins a tense process of speeding up the pace and ratcheting up the tension to the surprise crescendo. Plenty of intrigue, soul searching, love, fear, mind games, crime solving and enough “what’s next” to keep you turning pages. In fact, Atwood kept me up all night…I’d get ready to nod off…but then… just one more chapter. Suddenly it’s 3am. Great thriller! - Willie

This book would make a GREAT movie! About Roxanne was a complete thriller and a great escape for me. I couldn't wait to pick it up again! I HIGHLY recommend and hope someday it's made into a movie. Roxanne would make a VERY intriguing on-screen character!! – Chris B.

The Perfect Beach Read. I thoroughly enjoyed About Roxanne. I was looking for a psychological thriller to bring to the beach, and I found exactly that in this book. Interesting characters. Natural and believable dialogue. Solid plot with lots of twists and turns. A real page-turner that kept me guessing to the end. This is the third of Nina’s books that I’ve read, and I think it’s her best yet. Highly recommend. – Brett P.

This one captures your attention. About Roxanne captures your attention from the get-go…the story draws you into the dynamic and frightening stress of a person you don’t yet know…until you do…and then the ride gets more complex and intriguing. As your tensions rise, the turns in the plot keep you off balance. Nina Atwood is an author you will want to follow. - R.W. Wight

Captivating! I was hooked from the first page. This is a brilliant read! It pulled me in from beginning and held my attention. The world building is detailed and imaginative. This novel has strong, well-developed characters and an intriguing story line that kept you turning the pages. You won’t be able to put this novel down. - PAR

Not your typical mystery. This book is unique, not formulaic. The plot line will keep you guessing, and I found it hard to put down. Chalk up a third “win” for this author’s third book! – M.N. Thomas

Nina Atwood's third book "About Roxanne" is an engaging page-turner with lots of twists and turns! The characters were real and relatable and the plot quickly hooked me in. If I could have read this book in one sitting, I certainly would have! "About Roxanne" is a great story with many heart-palpitating moments. I loved it from beginning to end!

Starting with the suicide of her high school best friend, an attorney starts a life of blame, shame, and alcoholism. In the process of losing her marriage, daughters, and her job, she decides to research the suicide of her best friend and the plot thickens and broadens from there. Another good book by this author.

Well shoot. I thought this was a book about a recovering alcoholic and looked forward to a little "me" time. It was totally not that, but I did enjoy the story. Well written with a lot of interesting turns.

About Roxanne is Nina Atwood’s 3rd novel and her best book yet. She just keeps getting better and better. This book has everything: suspense wrapped inside a family drama wrapped inside the protagonist’s deeply felt personal struggle. A real page turner. I couldn’t put it down. I kept anting to see what happened next which lead to a couple of nights without enough sleep. Would be a fun book to take on vacation.

About Roxann is quite the page turner. Not only does it give us some insight into the minds of criminals but also the very common every day alcoholic/addict. It’s a feel good mystery story with a great ending that keeps you on the edge of your seat! I’m looking forward to the continuing story of Roxanne.

I feel this book was predictable with Russell Chase being the killer. It particularly became boring once Roxanne was in the cabin.

I really liked so many things about this book! An excellent mystery! Also the sobering insights (not a pun!) into some of the character faults. The appearance of the psychologist Dr. Jill Rhodes was extremely interesting. I just purchased the next book by Nina Atwood, The Expert Witness, which apparently focuses on Dr. Jill Rhodes. I'm going to start it as soon as I submit this review! Keep up the great work Ms. Atwood!
