TAKE ME, TAKE ME WITH YOU is an interesting experiment in crime fiction. Our heroine is Lara Quade. Highly intelligent, Lara has rationalized her past away. The only reminder is the web of scars that are a badge certifying she has overcome early tragedy. A mysterious benefactor sends Lara a gift. Third row tickets she couldn’t possibly afford to a concert she wants to see. Seated next to her is a young man with the same anonymous envelop and the matching ticket. We have begun. Through this “chance” meeting emotions deeply buried will slowly come back into focus. Danger looms. Author Kelly strips layers of gauzy ambiguity away with a poetic cadence and the danger draws closer. Is Lara’s greatest threat her own past or does the answer lie within whoever is manipulating her present.
