Nicholas Lash lost everything when he met Josephine, and now her trail of secrets leads him to mid-'90s Seattle, and the tragic story of a struggling grunge band, and the beautiful woman with amnesia who stumbles into their world. Is she their muse? Will she save them from "One-Hit Wonder" status? Or is she something much worse, especially since there's a psycho killer hunting her?

Review of 'Fatale' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I'd forgotten this takes a dip into grunge with a side dish of serial killer. We get a look at Jo unleashed and take a step closer to the present day. I still find it hard to extrapolate three politics of this tale, which is either a testament to the complexity of the character or a sign that it's just a hot mess of contradictions that simply can't be coherent. Despite that, it's still a real page turner, and I'm running out of pages
