    About this audiobook

    Still reeling from her young son's death, Jackie Sheppard retreats to a small town in the Colorado Rockies. Comforted that no one knows of her tragic past, she's thrilled to take a job at family law firm, where she meets Tom, the local carpenter. Jackie's distrust of others hinders their relationship, but they slowly build a budding romance.

    However, as she begins to settle into her new life, disturbing things start happening to Jackie--objects are moved around her house, an indentation of a body appears on her freshly made bed, and a bouquet of wildflowers are inexplicably left by her door. With eccentric residents in the town, Jackie dismisses the oddities, but as Tom's checkered background reveals that his wife and child were murdered, Jackie believes she may be the next target of a sadistic killer.

    Acclaimed for its strong characters and thrilling plot, MIND TRYST is Robyn Carr's only psychological suspense novel. Delighting fans of suspense since 1993, it will continue to leave readers looking over their shoulders long after they've turned the last page.

    Robyn Carr is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the VIRGIN RVER novels and the THUNDER POINT series.

      I usually don’t like books like this, but I found I couldn’t put this one down.

      Great for a long drive. Story of a woman who moves to a small town to start anew after the death of her 13 year old son. Drama follows her and she doesn't see it coming. Very good!

      I have read every Robyn Carr book (except for the one placed during the civil war), and usually enjoy the read-not just the book as a whole, but the reading of the book. This book is her only (as far as I know) mystery story. I like the premise, and enjoyed the first 3rd of the book - it bogged down then and seemed like it was going to be endless finding of creepy things and "investigation" of Tom - the story lost me at that point. I have stopped reading books that don't interest me just because I need to finish everything I start. So - I quit this book and moved on.

      I enjoy this author so much that I made a rare step out of the romance genre to read this thriller and it was an engrossing story. Divorced attorney Jackie tries to start life anew in rural Colorado after her son's accidental death. One of the first people to welcome her is local handyman Tom.

      Mind TrystThis is a story of a woman, Jackie who leaves the big city and makes her new home in a small town, Coleman in Colorado. She works at the local lawyers office as she has training in that field.Upon returning one weekend from the city she realizes someone has been in her house and she alerts not only the police but others. She takes precautions against another invasion.Jason Valian, the handyman she had also asked her friend in the big city to check out and she confronts him as to why he had changed his name upon relocating to CO. He had prison time...There are others she discards as being the intruder but she doesn't know them well but they are helpful around the property.Jason also is a self taught carpenter. Love how her best friend who's married her ex husband has sent him to help her out-he's also a cop.Brutal and so deceiving as they all learn new clues as to who is doing the killings...I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
