Mirror, Mirror

Nearly twenty years ago a teenage girl was murdered... Samantha Williams was just a young girl when her cousin, Emily, was brutally raped and killed in her own home. As a child, Sam's family did their best to shelter her from the gruesome details. Now, working the crime beat for the Portland Tribune, Sam has the resources at her fingertips to investigate the case for herself. Through the eyes of a killer... After inheriting a family heirloom, an antique vanity table that once belonged to her murdered cousin, Sam begins seeing visions in the mirror's depths. Like watching an old home movie, she bears witness to Emily's murder. As if that weren't frightening enough, she starts to see other things too: fleeting glimpses of the killer himself! Are the things she sees just a figment of her imagination or could something otherworldly be trying to communicate with her? When the killer strikes again and leaves clues behind meant specifically for Sam it becomes a race against time to try to catch him. 5 Stars! Reviewed By Arya Fomonyuy for Readers' Favorite "Swift, deft, and balanced can best describe Mirror, Mirror by Jessica Jesinghaus, a spellbinding mix of murder and suspense... Here is the perfect read, wonderfully paced, and as the reader gets to know the characters, their interest deepens and becomes sort of an obsession. It's hard to stop reading as one follows the clues, trying to figure out who the murderer could be. The plot is the work of genius, masterfully executed, and Samantha is a protagonist whose role in the story is so well-developed that readers will feel like they are one with her, seeing the world through her eyes, and experiencing the powerful flood of emotions that she experiences. Jessica Jesinghaus has a gift for writing and there is a striking balance that comes out beautifully in the treatment of the different elements of the story -- setting, plot, thematic development, and character. Mirror, Mirror is seductive, absorbing, and utterly delightful. A must-read for fans of thrillers and mystery."
