'Find Me' is an excellent read. The tension builds throughout the novel, as the reader is entrenched in a twisting, psychological narrative. Secrets and lies eventually lead to a shocking outcome. I was left thinking that this was a fantastic fictional story that could have potentially happened in real life.
I'm still not sure it didn't??!!
10/10 :-)

Review
'An entertaining page-turner' Irish Times. 'A highly convoluted and skilfully told story with many twists and turns and apparent reversals of narrative' Promoting Crime. 'The best book of the year for me so far ... I'd recommend it to anyone who wants some intelligent and slightly different escapism with digestible language and a lack of flowery prose in the descriptions. It's a novel for people who want a bit more and it performs on every level' Nudge Books. 'You have to work quite hard at this multi-layered break-out thriller, it features several timelines and narratives, but stick with it and you will be rewarded with intelligent writing, original and disturbing ideas and a tightly coiled and crafted plot' Daily Mail. 'An intriguing novel, lots of twists and turns and a dark underbelly' Frost Magazine. 'Interesting and fresh approach to a psychological thriller because it is also a tender love story ... The twists and turns mean you really are still in the dark almost right to the end' Strange Alliances. 'The pages all but turn themselves as the story unfolds in taut chapters ... Pacing is crisp and the plot is credible, but it's the case of expertly crafted, psychologically ambiguous characters that rivets' Publishers Weekly. 'An interesting premise ... very compelling' Bibliophile Book Club. 'Cunning, captivating and creepy - a beautifully written thriller with well-drawn characters and a twisting, gripping plot that will keep you guessing until the very last page' Jonathan Holt. 'An intricate puzzle of a thriller ... Simultaneously romantic and horrifying' Lucie Whitehouse. 'The most ingenious thriller you will read this year. I couldn't put it down' M. J. Arlidge. 'Intricately woven and heart-stoppingly believable, this has bestseller written all over it' Clare Mackintosh.

From the Back Cover
Five years ago, Rosa walked to the end of the pier in the dead of night. She looked into the dark swirling water, and jumped. She was a brilliant young Cambridge student who had just lost her father. Her death was tragic, but not unexpected.
Was that what really happened?
The coroner says it was. But Rosa's boyfriend Jar can't let go. He sees Rosa everywhere - a face on the train; a figure on the cliff. He is obsessed with proving that she is still alive. And then he gets an email.
Find me, Jar. Find me, before they do...
Is Rosa really dead? And, if she is, who is playing games with the ones she left behind?

Forget My Name is a pacy thriller that kept me guessing throughout. It starts with a main character having memory loss and turning up at a house claiming she lives there. The owners take her in and the plot develops from there. There’s plenty of additional interesting characters along the way and I really got absorbed in the events as they unfolded.
At times I felt some of the scenarios were a bit far fetched but, nevertheless i never considered giving up.
I’d have liked to have had a resolution for the journalist searching for his daughter and also would have liked to find it more about the detective’s son.

I loved this book!
Red herrings, blind alleys and twists and turns kept me guessing, which is unusual as I usually manage to work out the 'villain' fairly quickly.
Quite frightening to imagine that there could be real monsters out there

The blurb promises a gripping thriller. Unfortunately this book is neither gripping nor thriller.
I gave it a decent stab, but at a third of the way in I gave up. I'm willing to give a book a bit of time to get going in order to build up character etc, which this book does well, but if it purports to be a thriller then something should have happened by that point, not endless flashbacks to university life and aimless wandering between concerned people and psychiatrists.
It's also quite confusing. The book wanders between questioning Jar's sanity (is Rosa still alive?) and forcing us to accept what he says is true (yes there is a conspiracy against him because look the police are here) without really offering evidence for either.
If this book didn't claim to be a thriller it might not be so bad. As it is I've given it two stars because the author writes a good scene and character, but unfortunately doesn't seem inclined to do anything with it.

Wow. I don't often read a book twice but since I read this the first time like a child with a cushion over her face watching a particularly scary episode of Dr Who, I had to.
It's a brilliantly written novel which kept me hooked from beginning to end.
I now move on to his other novels!

A real page turner. Had me gripped from start to finish. The characters come to life on the page and you can't wait to see what happens next. A great thrilling read. Highly recommended.

Found the book a little hard to get into to, bit once I had I couldn't put it down. Was hoping for more of a twist and wish it hadn't ended how it did as I wanted more - and more answers as felt a little rushed but maybe that's what the author wanted... will definitely read this author again tho

It was certainly gripping and not what I was expecting.
I did suspect who the culprit was but didn't even consider what they had done.
I like the layout of the story too.
