Already optioned for film, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is Peter Swanson's electrifying tale of romantic noir, with shades of Hitchcock and reminiscent of the classic movie Body Heat. It is the story of a man swept into a vortex of irresistible passion and murder when an old love mysteriously reappears.
On an ordinary Friday evening at his favorite Boston tavern, George Foss's comfortable, predictable life is shattered when a beautiful woman sits down at the bar, a woman who vanished without a trace twenty years ago.
Liana Dector isn't just an ex-girlfriend, the first love George couldn't quite forget. She's also a dangerous enigma and quite possibly a cold-blooded killer wanted by the police. Suddenly, she's back - and she needs George's help. Ruthless men believe she stole some money...and they will do whatever it takes to get it back.
George knows Liana is trouble. But he can't say no - he never could - so he makes a choice that will plunge him into a terrifying whirlpool of lies, secrets, betrayal, and murder from which there is no sure escape.
Bold and masterful, full of malicious foreboding and subtle surprises, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is an addictive, nonstop thriller - an ever-tightening coil of suspense that grips you right up to its electrifying end.

While at Mather’s College, George meets the girl of his dreams. They quickly become inseparable, until Christmas break. George got a call telling him that she committed suicide while visiting her parents. He decides to head to Florida to visit her parents and pay his respects, possibly finding closure. When he notices a picture on the mantel, he realizes that the girl these parents are grieving for is not the same girl that he knew from college. Eventually he did know the true identity of his college sweetheart, but then she disappears.
Twenty years later she has returned and needs George’s help.
My Review:
I have never met a more complex character in a book; Liana Decter has so many personas that my head spun at all her changes. Each person she became was more manipulative and double-faced. I was sympathetic to her wishes to go to college knowing that it is a real issue that kids want to go but cannot afford them. That is where the sympathy ends. From the minute she leaves her dad and takes on a different identity she became someone that could not be trusted.
Knowing that love can make people want to see the best in those they love made me understand why George wanted to believe her, why he tried to believe her. I felt bad for George, he finally had the woman he wanted to love, the woman he wanted to be with, and then she double crossed him at every turn. I wanted him to open his eyes, to realize that he had to walk away from EVERYTHING that involves Liana or one of her other identities. I believe that if he had never met her his life would be so incredibly different, but probably not nearly as interesting.
I have to recommend this to all my friends. The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is a book I could not put down.
