The Abingdon book group read this novel for the January discussion. In general the book was liked and thought to be an easy read. It tells the story of Casey Marshall, who is the victim of a hit and run accident. She finds herself in hospital in a coma. She cannot move or see, or in any way communicate but she can hear. Over a period of time, as her husband, sister, friends, and doctors & nurses talk in her room, she discovers that all is not as it seems. Her "accident" may have been an attempted murder. Fielding reveals the murderer part way through the book, perhaps too early for some readers, who may lose interest once they know who did it. For those who stick with the story, the tension increases as Casey's life hangs in the balance and she must find a way to let those who love her know what is happening.
