What if it were possible that your most cherished memories were lies… and that finding out the truth could cost you your life?
Richard Kilmer is head over heels in love with Jennifer Ryan, who takes him home to meet her parents, where she accepts his marriage proposal. While visiting, they set out on a nostalgic drive up to Kendrick Falls. On their way there, a freak storm rolls in, Richard loses control of his car, and it rolls. When the storm clears in a matter of seconds, Jen is gone. Richard can’t find her, and neither can the police who respond to the scene. More horrifying is that no one in Richard's life will even confirm Jen’s existence, and all traces of her have disappeared.
Where could she be? Has Richard lost his mind, or has something far worse happened?
My thoughts
Imagine you find the perfect girl, meet her parents and propose to her. Then while driving to a favorite childhood spot of hers, a quick dark storm comes, you have a car accident and when you get yourself together, you can’t find your love. Soon things aren’t as they were or you begin to wonder, did she ever exist or is it a conspiracy? This is the premise of On Borrowed Time, and Richard Kilmer spends the whole book trying to find his girlfriend Jennifer before he gores truly crazy. I found this a pleasant mystery but not suspenseful enough.
Disclosure: I borrowed this book from my local library.

I want this book so bad! I have read ALL of David Rosenfelt's books and nothing came close to Andy Carpenter!
Even now when I have just had a pizza slice I think "If only I had Tara I could have fed the crusts to her"!
