And work out who it is that keeps coming into her room. A novel that grips from the very beginning and that will live long in the memory, The Last Thing I Remember is Deborah Bee's startling debut thriller.

If you read this for a book club, I think there will be lively discussion about the ending. I think some will sympathize with what happened, while others will be outraged. A good case could be made for either viewpoint. This is why I enjoyed this book so much. * Pondering the Prose Blog *

This is a debut thriller from the Creative Director at Harrods with TV rights already optioned by Alan Moloney's Parallel Films. It concerns a mugging victim who can't move, or speak (...)I really liked this concept. It isn't an easy one to manage, but Bee's done it, easy peasy * frostmagazine.com *
The characters are really, truly, quite realistic. It was a bit like watching reality TV. You know one of those '999, emergency' shows, or '24 hours in A&E' except the novel's timeline is 10 days with glances into past and a possible murder investigation * Cover to Cover *
The Last Thing I Remember is a truly enthralling piece of literature. I recently heard it might be turned into a TV show or movie and I can definitely see how this is going to grip any audience. Without giving away too much (because where's the fun in that? a mystery should stay a mystery until you read it) you must read this book. If you're looking for a fast-paced, compelling edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller then you've found your new read * Pretty Little Memoirs *
The whole story gallops along at a rip roaring pace and we get to know more about Sarah as she begins to remember things and revisits her own past in her thoughts. It's clever and twisty and a real page turner, easy to follow and a nice quite quick read which kept me thoroughly entertained and wondering for a couple of days. It's quirky and different and very absorbing and I enjoyed reading it * Beady Jan's Books *
Wonderful. Fascinating. Chilling... This powerful debut is both a masterful thriller and a compelling character study. It's billed as perfect for fans of 'Before I Go To Sleep' and 'Gone Girl', which I can hardly argue with, since I loved both of those books, too, but 'The Last Thing I Remember' is more subtle, more plausible and more insidious - more capable of getting under-your-skin. This I can imagine happening * Buried Under Books *
* An enthralling thriller...utterly addictive, it's easy to see why the TV rights have already been optioned * Stella Magazine *
An equally appealing group read as it is a personal read- a strong debut -- Jade Craddock * New Books Magazine *
