Under my Skin

A year after the murder of her husband and her subsequent breakdown, Poppy is intent on finding answers. 

The first portion of the book is a slow paced and disjointed as Poppy is trying to resume normal life while trying to retrieve lost memories.  The memories, flashbacks, dreams and hallucinations are often hard to differentiate, purposefully so that the reader is just as confused at times as the narrator.

The second portion moves much more quickly and many more breadcrumbs are dropped along the way leaving the reader guessing and second guessing the end. 

Overall an interesting read, despite the pacing.  If the first portion had a smoother feel, it likely would have been 4 stars.
