He wants to remember. She needs to forget. . . . Memento meets Sharp Objects in a gripping psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water and The Disappearing Act.“Twisty . . . highly imaginative . . . deliciously provocative.”—The Washington Post Who is Mr. Nobody? When a man is found on a British beach, drifting in and out of consciousness, with no identification and unable to speak, interest in him is sparked immediately. From the hospital staff who find themselves inexplicably drawn to him, to international medical experts who are baffled by him, to the national press who call him Mr. Nobody, everyone wants answers. Who is this man? And what happened to him? Some memories are best forgotten. Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Emma Lewis is asked to assess the patient in a small town deep in the English countryside. This is her field of expertise, this is the chance she’s been waiting for, and this case could make her name known across the world. But therein lies the danger. Emma left this same town fourteen years ago and has taken great pains to cover all traces of her past since then. Places aren't haunted . . . people are. But now something—or someone—is calling her back. And the more time she spends with her patient, the more alarmed she becomes that he knows the one thing about her that nobody is supposed to know.

"The climax of this book was completely implausible and made the whole plot seem like nothing. Sort of took its teeth out, so to speak. The protagonist wasn't someone you wanted more of, and boy, that needless heterosexual romance in the middle of a life and death plot! Stay out of the whole area of being in love with psychopath, darling. Or the cop.<br/><br/>Some interesting twists, though. The author is an actress and could clearly use a literary workshop or five."
"Holy ****. Absolute page turner. So many twists, not predictable because the plot is way too complicated. Very thought provoking and deep about life, meta psychology, character growth and a tiny touch of drama for balance. Loved it. Potential spoiler ahead in the form of comparison: more chaotic but just as riveting as The Silent Patient. Satisfying ending. "
