The erotic thriller will keep listeners guessing until the end. What happens when you're missing four and a half years of your memory? In Amelia's case, she wants it back. As she struggles to regain her lost years, she begins to believe her husband has had an affair. As Amelia seeks the truth, narrator Jennifer Jill Araya captures a range of frantic emotions. The audiobook doesn't contain many characters, so Araya can focus on Amelia and her husband, along with a self-absorbed mother-in-law and a psychiatrist. Araya's voices shift well between males and females--which is especially necessary here--and it's in Amelia's boiling-over frustrations that she best projects Amelia's anger with her husband and her situation. Araya smoothly shifts from Amelia's self-soothing tones to maddening outbursts, from self-doubt to self-assurance. M.B © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine -

After surviving a car accident that killed her father, Amelia developed amnesia and lost four years of her life. Now that she has returned to herself, all she knows is that she and her husband, Carl, lived in the city the entire time. Carl won't say more, as he is worried that recovering her memories may irreparably damage her fragile psyche. Amelia can't let the past rest, however, and when Carl begins to call out another woman's name in his sleep, she begins to seek out the mystery of what happened to her, and why. Who is the other woman? Could she be the key to Amelia's lost past? Baxter's (What She Forgot) latest psychological thriller takes listeners through Amelia's nightmarish past, revealing deeply disturbing and graphically described child sexual abuse and trauma. The story's twist is unsurprising, but listeners will be satisfied to see that the perpetrators are justly punished. Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya provides a quality performance, believably voicing Amelia's growing panic and distress without resorting to theatrics. VERDICT Despite Araya's solid narration, the unconvincing plot and predictable conclusion make this a strictly optional purchase.--Sarah Hashimoto
