Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-17 00:00:00 Nick Ruble "I wasn't afraid of my past; I was haunted. There's a difference." Robyn Carr-Mind Tryst All the stars for this great literary mystery! Mind Tryst is a mystery with soul. It's poignant and intense with an amazing cast of characters and a story that will haunt the reader every bit as the people in this book. So this is among my favorites. But it is not just the mystery that makes it so. I've read hundreds of mysteries. I may even have read thousands. It is the characters and atmosphere every bit as much as the plot. Mind Tryst is scary and eerie but it also a story of survival. Jackie Shepard is an independent and fiery woman, an attorney, who has tragically lost her son. She is also tough and strong. She has come to the mountains to make a new life for herself. Jackie is about as strong as it gets and it was a joy to read about her. But as she explains as she narrates, one can still be strong..and run into a nightmare. This is what happens to Jackie. It happens in such a subtle manner. But it does happen and how she chooses to deal with the situation at hand will have you rooting for her as much as shivering as you read about the slowly engulfing menace in the sleepy mountain town she now dwells in. This book also takes place in Colorado. The author actually makes the state of Colorado one of the characters. The vivid descriptions of the stirringly beautiful mountain town made feel like I was there. (I have visited Colorado and it is every bit as stunning as it is portrayed in the book). Then there are the characters. What a wonderful wacky awesome group of supporting characters! They were all so interesting. Very rarely do I read about characters, even a few that are only in a few scenes, whose names I remember and who I am hungry to read more about. They could have their own book or television series! This book is about strength and loss and terror and survival. It really is one of the best mysteries I have ever read. SPOILERS:(Just a few) The twists I did not see and it was a pretty terrifying story overall. I was always hoping the author would write a part two as I was eager to know where Jackie wound up. Five stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-10 00:00:00 Ben Phillips Mind Tryst is an audiobook I've had on TBR for several years. I loved Robyn Carr's Virgin River series but kept putting off reading this mystery/thriller. I'm glad I finally did as it was a good book with lots of unusual aspects. The main character moves to a small town to leave her grief behind, meets a seemingly nice man, but soon decides he isn't what he seems. From there, all kinds of weird, dark, and creepy things happen. This is not the best thriller I have ever read, but I think if Carr wanted to switch directions in her career, she could make a go of it. I thought this was recently written and was surprised to find that it was written in 1992, probably before any of her popular romance books. The narrator of the book was Christina Traister, whose voice was a little monotone. Otherwise, she did an okay job. I gave this 3 ½ stars rounded down to 3.
