Synopsis

A young woman is dumped, injured, and unconscious, in a private hospital's parking lot. She is an amnesiac with no memory prior to her discovery by hospital personnel. Detective Inspector Peter Diamond of the Bath homicide squad is unwilling to become involved. He has other, more important cases to solve: A woman has plunged to her death from the roof of a local landmark while half the young people of Bath partied below, and an elderly farmer has shot himself. Are these apparent suicides what they seem, or are there sinister forces at work? And might the amnesiac woman hold the key to both cases?

Peter Lovesey creates such memorable eccentric characters in his books and this book has my new favorite, Ada. I was laughing out loud at the sassy British expressions coming out of her mouth!

Maybe if I'd been reading about Peter Diamond for the previous 4 books I'd have liked this one better. The idea of a young woman with amnesia was interesting. Reading from her POV actually worked for me. Being American, I have no idea how accurate her experience with British Social Services was. Our......more
