A woman with no memory stumbles into a shop begging for help. Her clothes are soaked in blood but it isn’t hers. Test results show it belongs to her daughter but the police and the woman have no idea how old the girl or woman is. A search of the area where they think the woman got lost reveals the body of a man, not a female as expected…
The first part of the book shows the perspective of Detective Jo Fournier and her team. In the second part of the book, amnesiac Zoe has gone on the run, not trusting the police to find her the answers she is desperate for or in their ability to keep her safe. We also see the viewpoint of the man hunting Zoe down and this ramps up the tension.
I felt frustrated with Zoe for not trusting Jo and her team as I had confidence in their abilities based on the previous books! Take a look at my reviews of The Dancing Girls and Taken to the Grave) I always think it is a good thing when a book makes you have a positive or negative reaction to a character đ
Jo is facing her own emotional and physical battle (which I won’t spoil but did guess) plus we get to see more of her family dynamic which follows on from previous subplots in M.M. Chouinard’s other books. The amnesiac element added an extra dimension to the plot and I liked Zoe’s resourcefulness in trying to uncover her own identity and stay safe.
Although the third in the series, I think this would work perfectly well as a stand alone novel. Overall, a very enjoyable crime thiller.
Someone wants her dead, and she canât remember why.
Zoe is a wife and a mother. Or so sheâs been told. Ask her for more than that and she couldnât tell you. The blow to her head wiped her memory clean.
Zoe knows the blood on her shirt isnât just her own. After she was found stumbling out of the woods, the police ran tests. They say it belongs to her missing daughter.
Zoe is trying to piece together what her daughterâs face looks like, but all she can conjure up is a white-hot panic. A fear that her child is in desperate need of her help.
When a man claiming to be her husband turns up looking for her, she knows she canât trust him. Until she gets her memories back, she canât trust anyone. Not the stranger, not the police investigating, not even herselfâŚ
A completely addictive thriller that will keep you guessing into the early hours of the morning. Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient, Lisa Regan and Gregg Olsen.

Author Bio:
M.M. Chouinard’s first fiction story was published in her local paper when she was eight, and she fell in love with Agatha Christie novels not long after. While pursuing a Ph.D in psychology and helping to found the first U.S. research university of the new millennium, the stories kept rattling around inside her skull, demanding to come out. For sanity’s sake, she released them. She’s currently at work on her seventh novel.
