Publisher Description

The newspaper reported the case with relish. Jane (Jinx) Kingsley, fashion photographer and heiress, tried to kill herself after being unceremoniously jilted by her fiance, Leo Wallader. Leo has disappeared - together with Jinx's best friend Meg Harris. But when she wakes from her coma, Jinx can remember nothing about her alleged suicide attempt. Nevertheless, Jinx is convinced that she would never try to kill herself over Leo. Surely it was she who wanted to break the engagement.

When the help of Dr. Alan Protheroe of the Nightingale Clinic, Jinx slowly begins to unlock her nightmares and piece together the fragments of the last few weeks. The truth about what happened to her lies deep within her mind. But what other terrifying memories is she about to disturb?

"I forgave the author for naming her Jinx because the story was so compelling. Why would anyone frame her for an apparent suicide? Why does she remember so little? Is she mad? Is she a murderer? Minette Walters is a master at bringing new perspectives to the mystery/thriller genre. A great read."

    " I didn't care for the characters in this book. I also thought it was too repetitious. I tried to figure out "who done it", but I didn't before it was revealed...so I guess it was a good mystery. "

    " The story was enjoyable. The author gave away the antagonist at the beginning but it was still a good read. Some of the plot was formulaic but that didn't take away from the overall tension built in. "

    " This is good. A typical sort of who done it, the amnesiac, the doctor, the police, the dead bodies, and lots of family dysfunction. It was a page turner, and did a moderately good job of trying to mislead you from the truth. I enjoyed it. "

    " I may have seen a tv adaptation of this as parts seamed familiar, this did not detract from the book as adaptations rarely meet up to the original work. Some of the characters were a little too stereotypical but the plot keeps you interested to the last page. "
