About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

“Steadman once again brilliantly paces the action from the very first scene. . . . As in all good thrillers, lights unexpectedly snap out, a creepy house is hidden down a tree-woven lane, and long-buried secrets emerge. . . . A spellbinding thriller perfect for those dark and stormy nights.”Kirkus Reviews

“The elaborate plot, filled with seemingly impossible twists, drives to a suspenseful conclusion.”Publishers Weekly

“Twisty . . . a highly imaginative tale tinged with Hitchcockian tension and kinetic pacing . . . Steadman’s deliciously provocative novel dishes up enough questions to fill the entire space devoted to this review. She cleverly cloaks them in more mysteries, turns and shocking revelations.... Mr. Nobody and Emma Lewis, though invented, seem so real. Mr. Nobody turns out to be somebody, and his unmasking makes for a delightfully compelling story.The Washington Post

Love this author and her books

This is only the second review I have written. I have well over a 100 books in my library, very long commute. The first review was a negative review for an author I otherwise liked, I felt it would be warning to others that this wasn't the same type of book as his others.
My normal genre is action/thriller. Jack Ryan, Mitch Rapp etc. So Ms. Steadman is way out of my wheel house. Some how I stumbled onto her first book, Something In the Water. I loved it, I was enthralled by her voice, her delivery, her story telling. Although after that one I honestly didn't look for more from her. Then I found this one, and I will say from now on I will seek out her novels.
I loved this audio book. I loved her delivery, loved her story telling. All of it.
This book it not a continuation of the first, it is a new story, new characters etc. But Ms Steadman's touch with a story, and her telling of it show through.
I don't know how many authors read their own novels for an audio book, but I feel there is something extra that the listener gets by the author telling the story in their own words, no director herding a professional audio actor, subtly changing the story or adding inflection where is wasn't intended, missing out places it was etc. Ms. Steadman's interpretation, is the purest form of her story, She wrote it, she voiced it.
And her voice, her dialect, her inflections etc are wonderful. Truly pleasing to the ear, and the tale she weaves holds your attention and makes wish the story would never end.
Please continue to write and perform your own books Ms Steadman!!!!
Can't recommend highly enough.

Would recommend reading the book, but would not recommend listening to the audiobook.

Good story kind of ruined by lazy narration. The way the book was read made it hard for me to stay focused on listening because it was almost monotone for the majority of it. Interesting plot though and good writing,

Storyline-Wildly impossible. Left me bleh

I really wanted this story to end with a dramatic finish with the “woa” moment (did not happen). I really enjoyed Something in the Water but yikes, this one was just not my cup of tea. There was no real finish for me and I was disappointed.

Fantastic reading

I have experienced a lifetime of dyslexia, never realizing the true experience of reading until recently. I loved both books authored by Catherine Steadman and can’t wait for future releases.

Interesting. Intriguing. "Page turning". I have grown to love Catherine Steadman's writing and narration. Mr. Nobody keeps the surprises coming. What a fascinating subject matter.

Another triumph

This is an excellent read, very thoughtful characterisation and, like her last novel, (her first in fact) is gripping and suspenseful. I did not, for once, figure the plot out in advance and was able to enjoy the book from the beginning to the end. The narration is excellent.
