About the Book:

Julianna Burke, bestselling mystery novelist, has a secret that those closest to her are hiding from the world. Julianna is losing her memory, and with it her powerful gift for storytelling that propelled her to fame.

A further devastating blow comes when Connor, Julianna’s beloved husband, is murdered. Even this is not something Julianna’s mind can hold on to, and every day her assistant has to break the heart-wrenching news all over again.

Julianna is desperate to know what happened to her husband. As she battles her failing mind to investigate, a detail of the murder surfaces that makes Julianna question everything she’s ever known. Somehow she must fight to find the truth, even though her grip on reality is fading…

My Thoughts:

I gave this book 3/5 stars

This book took me much too long to get through unfortunately. I think the main problem was the over abundance of characters.

The core mystery is really good, lots of great twists and it’s not easy to puzzle out who the culprit is, even though there are quite a few clues given. I did figure out some of the twists ahead of time (the “forgotten” part was pretty obvious), but the author has quite a clever explanation for the motive and it made the book shine.

Like I said, I got really bogged down with the sheer number of characters and how they all related to the story. I almost needed to keep a list of who was who and the relationships because there were so many.

Overall, this is a solid mystery with surprises, if you can take the time to sort it all out.
