Mark of Guilt by Diane Hester is a suspenseful story that you can't stop reading! Lindsay Cavenaugh is six months from graduating and overslept causing her to miss an important English Lit test. As she begs her professor to please let her take the missed exam, he tells her there will be a price to pay if she wants to make up the test. Lindsay is upset and furious. She goes on to the library with Shaunwyn, her roommate and best friend. While she is in the library she spots something shiny on the floor under a table. When she picks up the earring, her hand begins to tingle and soon she is almost in a trance. Lindsay had begun to see a scene involving the missing student, Martha Daniels, play out before her eyes. Oh No, it is happening again. She has not had an experience like this for ten years.
Lindsay thought these glimpses of violence had stopped and she was now normal. It was a secret she had kept from everyone since she left her family and home. Her parents seemed to be ashamed of her for being able to see beyond normal everyday life. Lindsay wanted to graduate and go back to prove to them she was normal.
The next day Detective Garren Macklyn approaches Lindsay to question her about Martha Daniels. Two students who had witnessed her 'spell' in the library the day before had reported to the police that Lindsay had specific information about the missing girl.
This book gets more intriguing as it goes. Lindsay doesn't think she will be believed, and she doesn't want to be committed to a psychiatric hospital. What is she to do as she dreams more of what has happened to the missing student? Soon she is experiencing more than the dreams, she bears the marks of the victims.
I enjoyed the book very much!
