Until the warning comes true.
Hours later, a colleague is found brutally murdered, and Eleanor receives another message—from herself.

Something about her past.
Something she's certain she never told anyone.
As the messages become increasingly personal, Eleanor finds herself drawn into a disturbing web of secrets, unexplained memories, and dangerous lies. The people she trusts begin to seem like strangers, and every answer leads to another unsettling question.
Someone knows what happened seventeen years ago.
Someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the truth buried.
And now, someone is determined to make Eleanor remember.
But what if the most terrifying secret isn't what someone has done to her—it's what she might have forgotten?
The Messages I Never Sent is a gripping psychological suspense novel about deception, buried secrets, manipulation, and the dangerous uncertainty of memory.
Some messages should never be sent. Some truths refuse to stay hidden.
The Kindle formatting is a nightmare. Hard to keep track of who is saying what when conversations are squished together on the same line.
The storyline is interesting however there are a number of inconsistencies and holes. Though the setting is Boston, the author writes with British terminology.
No identifiable major shocking twists are found in the story so I don't really think psychological thriller is the best description of genre. It's just fiction IMO.
