Nikki Burgess survived a terrible marriage and a worse divorce. She's just about given up hope of ever finding happiness. But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again - and a chance to start over. Dixie McPherson, on the other hand, has had way too much love. She has 11 tennis bracelets, dozens of trinkets, piles of sexy lingerie, and a tarnished reputation when all she ever wanted was true love, a partner, and a family. Carlisle Bartlett is loyal, kindhearted, and the funniest guy slinging drinks in the back of an airplane. But he has an ugly little secret. The only kind of love he's used to comes with bruises.

Publisher's Summary
Still reeling from her young son's death, Jackie Sheppard retreats to a small town in the Colorado Rockies. Comforted that no one knows of her tragic past, she's thrilled to take a job at a family law firm, where she meets Tom, the local carpenter. Jackie's distrust of others hinders their relationship, but they slowly build a budding romance.
However, as she begins to settle into her new life, disturbing things start happening to Jackie - objects are moved around her house, an indentation of a body appears on her freshly made bed, and a bouquet of wildflowers are inexplicably left by her door. With eccentric residents in the town, Jackie dismisses the oddities, but as Tom's checkered background reveals that his wife and child were murdered, Jackie believes she may be the next target of a sadistic killer.
Acclaimed for its strong characters and thrilling plot, Mind Tryst is Robyn Carr's only psychological suspense novel. Delighting fans of suspense since 1993, it will continue to leave listeners looking over their shoulders long after they've finished.

Not Your Normal Robyn Carr Book!
Any additional comments?
I love all of Robyn Carr's books, she is one of my favorite authors. Let me say this is not a Virgin River novel! This is a sit on the edge of your seat thriller and kept you guessing until the end. I couldn't turn it off and listened until the wee hours of the night. From what I understand, this is an older book but there is no hint of that the story is very timely. The characters were very real and the narration was right on. Well worth a credit!

Hated It
Would you try another book from Robyn Carr and/or Christina Traister?
Absolutely. I love Robyn's normal romance books but I disliked this book. And yes I knew this was a different genre.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I am listening to Kristin Higgins
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Christina Traister?
I don't know but this narrator had a depressing voice
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Mind Tryst?
I don't know, I didn't get further than 71 minutes into the book
Any additional comments?
I found this book to be absolutely depressing. I listened to 71 minutes, the first two chapters and it was all about this woman's depression with dealing with the loss of her son in a car accident and short marriage. It was just very difficult to listen too, not because of the loss but 71 minutes of the loss with more to come I am sure then to find out the male character was coping with the loss of his wife and child who had been murdered, WTH, now I have to listen to two people go on and on and on about it? This is a story, fiction, and it should not have taken over the whole story, this was just not entertaining. I got to a point where I was dreading listening to the next fifteen minutes as I was just expecting more and more of the same bleak, disheartening reading.

Better than reviewed!
Loved it. This was my first book by this author. I was almost put off by reviews because many of them said "too depressing" and "this author's other works are better." However, I enjoyed the story and the thriller-psych aspect. I never found myself depressed. I thought the characters were well developed and I liked the narration. I'll definitely see what else the author has to offer.

Write more of these
I have red many of Robyn Carr's books including entire series. This is her only suspense novel and it was fantastic. Everything you want in a novel. Twists and turns. Great characters and scary as all get out. I usually figure things out before the end of books like this? But this had me second guessing myself. I just wish she had written more of these. I just happened to come across it on Audible and was really glad I did.

Very Interesting Departure
I think I've read every Robyn Carr book and, while realizing that this book would be different, I wasn't ready for such a departure from her tried and true genre. In short, I loved it. I liked the character development and the twists and turns of the storyline. I was initially a little conflicted with Jackie's "hunches" about Tom, but just decided to go with it and now I'm glad I did. Robyn, feel free to entertain/scare us with more of these stories.

Intriguing, Suspenseful, Captivating & Sad
Where does Mind Tryst rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very, very high in writing style, believability & intrigue.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Mind Tryst?
I can't answer that it would give the ending away, I will say this - Wow, this book had everything a great mystery thriller book called for. It was like a cross between Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde & Sherlock Holmes. I liked everything about this book, especially how cleverly the plot kept unravelling & unravelling. From a psychological viewpoint it was mind boggling & I kept finding myself slipping into the place of the main character “Jackie.” Although I do not think I would have been as courageous & determined as she was. What is so sad is there are evil people roaming the earth like that.
What does Christina Traister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I only use aufible books but she was great.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yepper, but I had to give my mind a break every once in a while as it was overwhelming.
Any additional comments?
This was the first book by this author i have heard, but i think i will be coming back for more.

Strong Female Lead
While the suspense and mystery part of this plot was average, the strong female main character Jackie was such a pleasant change from the passive girl characters so popular since FSOG.
I really loved how Jackie and her ex-husband's second wife became best friends, demonstrating how women can be supportive of each other rather than always fighting over men.

Suspense to the end...the cruelty that a person can inflict on the innocent. Not the regular writing of Robyn Carr and not my usual type of reading perhaps a bit close to real life but still an excellent read 🤭🇦🇺
