Amanda O'Toole has been murdered and four of her fingers were surgically removed. The police suspect the victim's best friend, Dr. Jennifer White, but Jennifer is suffering from Alzheimer's and has no idea whether or not she committed the murder. Most of the time she doesn't even realize her friend is dead.
VERDICT This is an ingenious mystery with a highly unreliable narrator. Full of twists and turns, it will keep fans of Before I Go To Sleep and Gone Girl guessing right up to the end. (LJ 3/1/11)
