Probably one of the best suspense novels I have read in a long time. It was riveting and kept me hooked the entire time. Though it was the first novel I've read by Gaylin, I can tell you that it won't be the last. The plot was entertaining as well as interesting, and the characters were for the most part likeable as well. This is definitely a book I would recommend to anyone interested in the suspense genre. Looking forward to the sequel next year!

I liked all the characters and the story was interesting. It was well-written and fast-paced but at the same time disappointing. I felt the ending was a little rushed and it was missing something. But I will definitely give the next one a shot.

This was a good enough book but I felt like the flashbacks were more distracting than anything. I don't know that I would be interested in continuing to read the series.

Brenna Spector is a private eye who can’t forget anything she has ever seen or heard and you will not be able to forget Brenna after you read this exciting new suspense thriller, the first in a new series by Alison Gaylin.
For fans of the new TV series Unforgettable another interesting look into the curse and the blessing of the rare disorder that Brenna has. The condition that is a great boon to her professional life of finding missing persons is also a great burden in her personal life.

Liked this book and it's mystery up until the end, I was not happy with the way the Iris mystery came about.

For me this book was all about the characters. Gaylin has created some wonderfully complex ones.

Sadly I got a bit confused and bored. The little enlightening parts of the story weren't enough to captivate me in the end.

I flew through this really thoughtful, entertaining book. The whodunit part of the mystery ended in a way I didn’t expect, but it felt a bit forced and anticlimactic. Some of the “bad guys” were fantastic, and the ride to get to the end was so great that I could overlook the disappointing twist. The psychological aspect, Brenna’s disorder, is fascinating and makes the story so unusual, but also really contributes to what is happening. There were some lovely and thought-provoking lines and fascinating, flawed characters, and just really good writing. I am definitely planning to check out more in this series.
