Publisher's summary
From the best-selling author of All Is Not Forgotten and Don’t Look for Me comes a sharp, compulsive thriller about a young woman who narrowly escapes a violent crime and the psychiatrist helping to recover her memory of the suspect.
Gabby Ashford has just survived an attempt on her life. Detectives have connected her story to two other cases in the area: Professional women drugged at a bar, brought to their homes, and drowned in their bathtubs. Gabby, who miraculously woke up in her own bathtub unharmed, could be the key to finding a serial killer on the loose - but she has no memory of the attack.
Gabby admits herself to a high-end rehabilitation center to recover and to seek the help of a psychiatrist renowned for his work with memory recovery. As Dr. Forrester works with Gabby - interviewing not only her but her overbearing fiancée, her emotionally fragile brother, and the local detective working the case - questions about Gabby’s story, her past, and the ethics of memory recovery emerge.
Dr. Forrester, the central voice of Walker’s breakout debut All Is Not Forgotten, is a fascinating and deeply complicated character, barreling toward the truth of the case at hand while wrestling with the demons of his own past. Shocking and succinct, Hold Your Breath will have you on the edge of your seat from the first minute to the last.

The boxes arrive mysteriously, one by one, at Channing Manheim’s fortified compound. The threat implicit in their bizarre, disturbing contents seems to escalate with each new delivery. Manheim’s security chief, ex-cop Ethan Truman, is used to looking beneath the surface of things. But until he entered the orbit of a Hollywood icon, he had no idea just how slippery reality could be. Now this good man is all that stands in the way of an insidious killer—and forces that eclipse the most fevered fantasies of a city where dreams and nightmares are the stuff of daily life.

How did quiet, barely-there Daisy, land Harris Zandari? She watched him. She watched him so closely, and for so long, that she saw things no one else did. She saw through his charm, his bright, smiling face, to the sad, broken person underneath just waiting for the perfect sad, broken girl to complete him. Daisy was that girl.

Hmmmm
I listened to maybe the first 15-minutes and had to turn it off. The writing seemed strutted - lacked depth - and the narrator had an unnatural gait to his speech - it didn’t sound like a regular person but more like an “OK” actor reading lines.
The book may be much better with a different narrator.

Not worth the time
Hold Your Breath was trying very hard to be a psychological thriller, with a psychiatrist as its protagonist. However, the writing is heavy-handed, spelling out the character’s thoughts as well as what is obviously researched information on specific topics in great detail and much repetition. Wish I would not have spent hours of my life with a badly written book. The narrator had little nuance/variety to his line readings; the tempo was darn consistent...do not know why I stayed with it!

Not 1 twist but 2
I typically figure out the twist long before it’s exposed. One of them was not too much of a surprise, the other came out of left field. If I mentioned the name of the movie this story reminds me of, it would completely spoil the twist and ruin the story. :)

Good
It was a good short story, although it seemed longer. It was well-rounded and had enough details to make the story complete from start to finish which from my experience a lot of short stories lack especially thrillers and suspense. I would definitely recommend.
