This came with much praise and all the critics liked it. I have to admit after getting around halfway I ditched it. Another book comes along and sometimes you just have to give up if you are not enjoying the novel DNF. The thing was I really wanted to like this book – it gets rave reviews.

Score 4/10

“A thriller with a twist, OK nothing unusual with that, the twist is the story is told from the perspective of the victim. It doesn’t spend a lot of time chasing or giving clues to whom the serial killer is.
The victim has memory loss after a killer dumps her in a mass grave, psychiatrists come and go, but sooner or later she needs to help the innocently imprisoned man for the serial murders.
BC score 6/10 mine 4/10 (instantly forgettable!)

Score 4/10
