About this listen

After years of hard work, Dr. Charly McKenna finally has it all:

A prosperous career as a dermatologist? Check.

Spacious apartment overlooking Central Park? Check.

Handsome lawyer husband? Double check.

Then, one night a bullet rips through the right side of her skull and she loses everything.

As Charly struggles to recover from her brain injury, she begins to realize that the events of that fateful night are trapped in the damaged right side of her brain. Now, she must put the jigsaw pieces together to discover the identity of the man who tried to kill her...before he finishes the job he started.

Best book so far and I’ve listened to every other book. It may be because my younger sister was in a car accident and has brain damage and no use of her left body. I cried a lot because I’ve been going through the process with my own sister and my family. Great listen !

One of her best yet …

This is different from Freida Mcfadden's usual MO but in a good way. Usually her books are driven by plot and an unexpected twist, which is great, but her character development isn't that strong (although not always) and there isn't really a bigger meaning or idea in the story. It's just a good, psychological story. But in this book, the twist is pretty predictable, but it's OK because that's not the point. The strength lies in the perspective and how the author makes you feel the horror of being completely dependent on an abusive man as a disabled woman and the embodied struggles of recovering from a traumatic brain injury. She plays with themes of memory and identity, disability justice, and domestic abuse and you feel deeply connected to the main character, even though she's disconnected from herself. The book is also excellently narrated. I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely recommend this novel.

I spend 4 -5 hours driving every evening and this book kept me company. I did enjoy it a great deal. good story, with a couple of twists. I will try another one by the same author.

Mcfadden At her best

You can tell the author is practicing in the medical field, she just does such a great job when her thrillers are rooted in it. This one does not disappoint and I really enjoyed the main character. I cannot fathom how this author continues to churn out such well written books while practicing!

Very Twisty and Authentic

Freida Never Fails!

Have read a bunch of books by Freida and this one is slower than the others. A lot of time spent at the rehab hospital talking about recovery which isn’t very thrilling…
However, I did like the ending!

Slow but liked the ending

Predicable. It is slow then ends quickly. Not my favourite of this authors. No real twist!

Not one of her best
