This sounds intriguing. The story seems to be revolving around Tim's identity crisis. I like how the author has woven other characters and themes around it. This would most likely appeal to mystery fans. Thank you for the amazing review.

It is too bad about the character of Mary Ann, especially given the quality of the rest of the book.

I'm not a fan of thrillers so this book isn't for me. Also, I'd probably find Mary Ann character annoying.

Thanks for the excellent review! The book sounds suspenseful and intriguing. It would be a terrible thing to lose your spouse and the only thing you can remember about them is that you were fighting! Thanks for the warning about the profanity and erotic scenes. I love a good suspense story but I am always turned off by strong profanity, and by overly explicit material! Guess I'll pass, but I enjoyed your review!

An ex-CIA officer loses his wife and his memory in an automobile accident. This thrilling story is full espionage and suspense. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. This is a very good review. Thanks to the reviewer.

What a sad thing it is indeed to lose memory, you may even accept a lift from the enemy intending to end your life. I hope Tim never ended up in bad-hands. Thanks for the informative review.

This book seems to have it all: "mystery, suspense, medical thrillers, espionage, and romance." Wait! That's not all! Plus the twists and turns which, most probably, will glue my hands on the book. Great review! Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m not a fan of explicit content, so I’ll have to pass on this one. Still, sounds like a compelling plot.

Latest Review: The Biblical Clock by Daniel Friedmann and Dania Sheldon

Post by Andy_C »

I find a lot of suspense/mystery/espionage/thrillers tend to be male dominated and to fall short with their female characters, as you mention with Mary Ann. I wonder if there are other female characters who are slightly more believable/relatable? I have a review forthcoming where every female character was an attractive sex-object, which put a big dent in an otherwise great read.

Anyway, I'm rambling... Great review, thanks!

This sounds like a very interesting read! I watch the TV series NCIS, and I feel like this book reminds me of this show. The sexual references are a bit of a turn-off for me; I am not sure how well I will fare with this. However, I still think that the book was written with an excellent story and great characters. Thank you for your review!

I like thrillers and this book seems to be a pretty intensive one. I believe the masterful blending of mystery, suspense, medical thrillers, espionage, and romance make the book a real page turner. It will be interesting to read about Tim and whether he manages to recover his memory and what will happen to him while he tries to do this. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!
