Who can you trust if you don’t know who you are?
She arrives at the train station only to realize her bag had been stolen—her passport, credit cards, laptop, house key now all gone. And even more disturbing, when she goes to report the incident, she can’t recall her own name. All she has on her is a train ticket home.
Suffering from stress-induced amnesia, the woman without a name is a source of mystery when she appears at the sleepy Wiltshire village where she thought she lived. She quickly becomes a source of conspiracy and fear among the townspeople. Why does one think he recognizes her from years earlier? And why do the local police take such a strong interest in her arrival?
From the critically acclaimed author of Find Me comes a shocking new tale of dark pasts and deception, leaving us breathlessly analyzing the role memory plays in defining who we are—and who others think we might be.

The Last Thing She Remembers is a mind-twisting tale that will have you second guessing yourself at every turn. Each page is layered with drama, mystery, deceit, and action to keep you engaged and on your toes. This was a new venture for me, as I have not read anything from this author up and until now, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. Just when I thought I had a handle on things, the story line would take a sharp turn, and I was left surprised all over again. I really enjoyed this one, it was dark and twisty psychological thriller that kept me captivated from start to finish!
