Come and Get Me

Summary Short: Journalist goes back to the college town where she was raped years ago and gets involved in the case of a missing girl.

The book starts out with Caitlin Bergman going back to the university she fled twenty years ago to receive her diploma. An author now, her impromptu speech to the student body is a shocker. She admits that, before she suddenly left, a young man she knew and trusted violently raped her and left her for dead.

She meant only to come back for a short time to receive the diploma and do a book signing for her new book. And maybe in the back of her head, she is really just searching for closure to that night so long ago. But when a body is found, she is quickly dragged into wanting to know what happened to another college girl who has been missing for two years.

I liked Caitlin. She runs in the morning, she drinks at night. She isn't the perfect person. And she cares for others. Her long-lost best friend and her husband, the missing girl's best friend and mother, and a new love interest. Following Caitlin as she investigates is definitely interesting and I wasn't prepared for the ending and how she deals with being trapped by a man again. I would definitely read this author again.
