Publisher's summary

Some nightmares you can't forget

From the depths of sleep, Seattle TV reporter Anna Malone awakens to her phone ringing. She rarely drinks, and this hangover is brutal. Why can't she shake the feeling that something terrible happened last night? And why can't she recall any of it?

But even worse

What Anna does remember: an awkward restaurant meal with her married lover, Russ Knoll, and his unsuspecting wife, Courtney. Russ' phone call reveals that Courtney is missing, and as days go by with no trace, he comes under police scrutiny. Anna's in the spotlight, too, thanks to a TV rival with a grudge. Anna's not proud of her affair, but she and Russ aren't bad people. They're certainly not the killing kind.

Is the one you can't remember....

Anna already suspected that Courtney - a successful, charming author - might have a darker side. Is she truly missing? Perhaps the sudden disturbances in Anna's life aren't accidental after all. But no scenario that Anna imagines can compare to the twisted game unfolding around her, one chilling piece at a time....

Excellent read!

It was a little bit slow start but then it kept me guessing. Written well with twists and turns to keep you interested.

Kept me guessing!

I had 3 different suspects in mind ... it wasn't any of them.
Great story with an even greater plot.

Great Story

Narrator too flat, no variety in the characters voices. The story line did keep my interest.

I’m glad I didn’t pay for it

It was an ok read to pass the time but honestly I had to slug through it hoping it would pick up. Perhaps it is bc I really did not care for this performer at all. Also, the story really is just high fructose corn syrup for the brain which is fine if that is what entertains you. It was fairly easy to guess “whodunnit “ by mid book.

Biggest dislike: narrator

Missed the mark

So much of this seemed implausible. The crazies are over the top, the performance isn’t suitable for this book, particularly the parts speaking for deaf people. I enjoy suspending disbelief in a novel but this one was just didn’t allow that somehow, perhaps due to the characters interactions emotionally, very superficial and reactive.

Ok story bad narration

The narration left a lot to be desired. The story was pretty good but a lot of unnecessary details. The nonchalant mentions of choclear implants and how they work, recovery from surgery time was way off. Not very believable but ok. I didn’t hate it.

Manipulation and lies.

Loved this book, first time I’ve listened to Kevin O’Brien, certainly look for more of his novels, I loved his crisp unsentimental way of writing, narration excellent!
