Book Synopsis:
HOW CAN YOU SOLVE A CRIME IF YOU CAN’T REMEMBER THE CLUES?
There is an explosion at a military ball. The casualties are rushed to hospital in eight ambulances, but only seven vehicles arrive. Captain Harry Peterson is missing.
His girlfriend calls upon her old friend Dr Augusta Bloom to support the investigation. But no one can work out if there is a connection between the bomb and the disappearance.
When Harry is eventually discovered three days later, they hope he holds the answers to their questions. But he can’t remember a single thing.
Without any clues, will Dr Bloom find herself lost in this puzzle too?
Lost is available in ebook now and in paperback on the 29th October 2020. You can purchase or pre-order your copy using the link below.
My Review:
Lost is the follow up to Gone which was the author’s debut novel. It’s a very entertaining, addictive and and thrilling read which was hugely enjoyable.
The story line is very intriguing as I have always enjoyed stories around memory loss, maybe because it is such a scary concept for me. The lack of clues made it a harder case for Dr Bloom to solve and meant it was more fun to read as I tried to work out what was going on.
It was great to be back with Dr Bloom and Marcus, especially as it gave them the chance to fix everything from the last book. I’ve always thought they work well together so it was good to see them resolve their differences. Seraphine was an interesting addition to the story, especially as I wasn’t entirely sure I trusted her. She seemed to divide Dr Blooms and Marcus’s opinions and made me wonder if the author was setting up conflict for the future.
The story switches back and forth between when Harry and Karene first meet and the present day when Karene is receiving odd emails. The author keeps us in suspense about the link between these times until the end which I always enjoy. The atmosphere in the book slowly increases until it becomes very intense and made the book hard to put down. My only slight quibble about this book is that at times I felt it was perhaps a little unrealistic but I actually think the author meant this and it didn’t affect my overall enjoyment of this book which I will be recommending to others.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Transworld for my copy of this book.
