Never Saw Me Coming

Herb Scribner presents a psychological thriller in Never Saw Me Coming. The narrative follows Annette Gardner, who survives a serial killer's murder spree six months prior to the story's start. She has rebuilt her life by avoiding cases close to home. A local police officer interrupts this routine by asking for help with a murder investigation. The case involves a wife convinced her husband was brutally murdered. The twist lies in the fact that the husband does not exist. Scribner writes independently, focusing on the tension between memory and reality. This book suits readers who enjoy suspenseful plots involving identity and perception. It may not appeal to those seeking historical gothic settings or supernatural elements. The story relies on present-day police procedure rather than occult traditions. Annette's past trauma drives her current hesitation. The officer's request forces her to confront the gap between her experiences and the official record. The narrative structure moves from personal recovery to professional intrusion. This shift creates a sense of unease as the boundary between truth and fabrication blurs. Readers will find the premise unsettling because it challenges basic assumptions about existence. The plot does not rely on gore but on psychological disorientation. Scribner's approach is direct, avoiding elaborate metaphors for simpler, sharper impacts. The focus remains tightly on Annette's internal state as she navigates this impossible case.
