Author's Summary: Clarice Starling awakens from Dr. Lecter's hypnosis, only to rediscover what her life was like with him. Alternate Strings is an 'alternate sequel to Daddy's Girl, which assumes that Clarice Starling escaped the GD eleven years ago with her daughter now her peace is threatened.

Review:
FBI agent Clarice Starling wakes up to a life where she is married to the good doctor and they have a daughter together.

Are you creeped out yet?

Although the premise seems far fetched for those familiar with the movie series, the third book (chronologically) actually ends with Lecter and Clarice going to the opera together in Buenos Aires. In essence, Lecter replaces his baby sister (Mischa; the one who died in Europe as a child and was cannibalized) with Clarice, and the readers are led to believe the two live happily (twisted) ever after.

Without giving away too much of the plot, I'm just going to say that the author does a wonderful job at creating a dark and tense atmosphere and it sure beats watching Scream/Saw/most movies of that genre any day -- if you are that way inclined, that is.

Kurt GW is a very prolific writer in the Hannibal fandom, but please keep in mind that her other stories are a lot more gory and violent than the two rec'd.
