She arrives at the train station only to realize her bag had been stolen—her passport, credit cards, laptop, house key now all gone. And even more disturbing, when she goes to report the incident, she can't recall her own name. All she has on her is a train ticket home.
Suffering from stress-induced amnesia, the woman without a name is a source of mystery when she appears at the sleepy Wiltshire village where she thought she lived. She quickly becomes a source of conspiracy and fear among the townspeople. Why does one think he recognizes her from years earlier? And why do the local police take such a strong interest in her arrival?
From the critically acclaimed author of Find Me comes a shocking new tale of dark pasts and deception, leaving us breathlessly analyzing the role memory plays in defining who we are—and who others think we might be.

A young woman shows up in a small Wiltshire village sure of nothing but her home. But when she rings the bell, the house is inhabited by a couple who say they've never seen her. They invite her to spend the night, hoping a good night's sleep will bring her memory back. She awakens still with a blank canvas, but this time locals think she may be a murderer returning to the scene of the crime. Turns out several men in the village have a personal interest in her story, motivated by very different desires. Like Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Train (2015) or S. J. Watson's Before I Go to Sleep (2011), Monroe's latest novel (following Find Me, 2017) features a main character whose unreliability is itself unreliable. Fans of dark domestic fiction will be entertained.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
