In the Dark We Forget

Cleo Li wakes up at the side of a mountain highway with no recollection of how she got there, with no idea who she is. As she begins to piece together the life she once had it's clear she isn't exactly the most likeable of people. I love the setup, the unreliable narrator trying to reconcile who she was and what she might have been capable of as it's revealed her parents have recently gone missing after a massive lottery windfall.

Can I just say, someone should give Cleo a jacket. I don't think I've read about a person shivering, running goosebumps, and shuddering uncontrollably more. That girl has some serious temperature regulation issues. All this in an otherwise shaggy story that meandered to completion. There wasn't the deft feints, canny misdirects and shocking revelations I was hoping for from the taut thriller I know this could have been.
