About this listen

Winner of CWA Best unabridged Crime Audiobook 2012.

Winner – CRIME THRILLER OF THE YEAR – BRITISH BOOK AWARDS

As I sleep, my mind will erase everything I did today. I will wake up tomorrow as I did this morning. Thinking I'm still a child. Thinking I have a whole lifetime of choice ahead of me ...'Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep?

Your name, your identity, your past, even the people you love - all forgotten overnight.

And the one person you trust may only be telling you half the story. Welcome to Christine's life.

Critic Reviews

“Quite simply the best debut novel I've ever read.” (Tess Gerritsen)
“Brilliant in its pacing, profound in its central question, suspenseful on every page - and satisfying in its thriller ending.” (Anita Shreve)
“A deft, perceptive exploration of a fascinating neurological condition, and a cracking good thriller.” (Lionel Shriver)
“A terrific first novel - well-written, genuinely unsettling and psychologically very plausible. Thrillers seldom come much better than this. Loved it, read it in one.” (Joanne Harris)
“An exceptional thriller. It left my nerves jangling for hours after I finished the last page.” (Dennis Lehane)
“So high-concept, so ambitious and so structurally brilliant. It's so rare to read a thriller that's perfect in every detail, but this one definitely qualifies!” (Sophie Hannah)
“A deeply unsettling debut that asks the most terrifying question - what do you have left when you lose yourself?” (Val McDermid)
“A truly amazing debut. The central character, Christine, is beautifully drawn. It's hard to imagine a more compelling, believable and sympathetic portrayal of a damaged human being. I loved it from start to finish.” (Mo Hayder)

Story is uniquely written. But it gets to point of being stretched and dragged in the middle. Beginning and ending are the parts that hold you with the book.

The narrator has done an excellent job. It's because of her that I could finish 10 out of the 12 hours the book promises. Since it's a novel, narration alone cannot win it a five-star. The story is extremely monotonous and sluggish... chapter after chapter the same things go on. Even if the plot required to repeat certain things over and over, it could have been handled in a better way to make the story crisp. I'd say, the movie has done a better justice to the plot. Cheers to the narrator though! :)

too much stretched,

I can easily see this being converted to a movie. Though sometimes you feel you have understood the game, author convinces you otherwise. Easy to get attached to the protagonist.
The end was sudden leaving Mike's death to imagination.

Thrilling. Gripping.
