Amnesia

LoveReading Says

Clemence is contacted by her French great aunt in the States to care for an elderly man, Alastair, suffering amnesia after an accident in Scotland.  Can she hold the fort until her aunt gets there?  Clemence, a university student in Edinburgh, agrees and tries to help jog his memory with photographs and questions until she finds a manuscript and reads him the handwritten story.  Mixed emotions of fear, loathing, compassion and concern occur as she reads and Alastair’s memories are awakened.  Then the novel changes gear when the two are attacked and forced to flee into the frozen hills.  Why?  It changes gear again as the denouement approaches and the unexpected twist is presented.  This is very much a mystery within a mystery with lots of action, complex relationships and plenty of twists.  A wonderful stand-alone thriller from a respected and accomplished author of financial thrillers and the Icelandic detective series starring Magnus Jonson.  Highly recommended. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
