Peter Swanson, The Girl With a Clock for a Heart

About: Psychological suspense novel whose dual timelines follow George Foss’s involvement with a name-shifting siren—a one-time college girlfriend whose troubled past and dangerous future stamp his life for decades.

Verdict: Page-turner (with a catchy but unearned title) that never confuses despite its complex storyline. It ends abruptly but well.
