Mr. Nobody

A Novel

De: Catherine Steadman

Narrado por: Catherine Steadman

He wants to remember. She needs to forget. . . . Memento meets Sharp Objects in a gripping psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water and The Disappearing Act.

“Twisty . . . highly imaginative . . . deliciously provocative.”—The Washington Post

Who is Mr. Nobody?

When a man is found on a British beach, drifting in and out of consciousness, with no identification and unable to speak, interest in him is sparked immediately. From the hospital staff who find themselves inexplicably drawn to him, to international medical experts who are baffled by him, to the national press who call him Mr. Nobody, everyone wants answers. Who is this man? And what happened to him?

Some memories are best forgotten.

Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Emma Lewis is asked to assess the patient in a small town deep in the English countryside. This is her field of expertise, this is the chance she’s been waiting for, and this case could make her name known across the world. But therein lies the danger. Emma left this same town fourteen years ago and has taken great pains to cover all traces of her past since then.

Places aren't haunted . . . people are.

But now something—or someone—is calling her back. And the more time she spends with her patient, the more alarmed she becomes that he knows the one thing about her that nobody is supposed to know.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Steadman once again brilliantly paces the action from the very first scene. . . . As in all good thrillers, lights unexpectedly snap out, a creepy house is hidden down a tree-woven lane, and long-buried secrets emerge. . . . A spellbinding thriller perfect for those dark and stormy nights.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The elaborate plot, filled with seemingly impossible twists, drives to a suspenseful conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly

“Twisty . . . a highly imaginative tale tinged with Hitchcockian tension and kinetic pacing . . . Steadman’s deliciously provocative novel dishes up enough questions to fill the entire space devoted to this review. She cleverly cloaks them in more mysteries, turns and shocking revelations.... Mr. Nobody and Emma Lewis, though invented, seem so real. Mr. Nobody turns out to be somebody, and his unmasking makes for a delightfully compelling story.—The Washington Post

Couldn't Stop Listening!

I usually listen to books during walks and drives, but with this book, I looked for activities to do while I absorbed this story of mystery. My house is cleaner; the laundry is done, and the desk is decluttered.

Steadman's storytelling is captivating. I wanted to know the stories of each of the characters and loved the drip-drip method of doling out details one by one. As I prepare to get on a plane, I have just downloaded her next book and know that I will be entertained for the next four hours!

Not my favorite but interesting

I really love this author and the narrator is really awesome, but this was not my favorite story by her. I finished it and was glad it came full circle but it still felt empty and a bit anticlimactic.

Better than In the Water!

This was 1000000x better than her other novel. I was scared because I didn’t LOVE that one and didn’t see the twist as even remotely believable but I wanted to give her another go and this DID 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 DISAPPOINT 👏🏻. Still has the hint of unbelievability in a minor-major plot hole but I let it slide and overall I enjoyed this book so much!

slow start. great ending

this book was difficult to get into, initially. it was a slow start that was required to understand the story... just not very captivating. turned out great with unpredictable twists!

holy moly what a great book

I can't even fathom how authors can write like this. what an incredible book. highly recommend

Excellent as usual

I really enjoy this author. Every book is one I can’t stop. Always looking for another.

Wonderful book!

I don’t leave book reviews because people like books for their own reasons. Catherine Steadman has become one of my favorite authors. Each one of her books I have found intriguing, exciting, well researched and captivating. I look forward to reading her next novel.

obsessed

Catherine steadman is my new favorite author. this is the first time a twist in a book has surprised me in a long long time. I can almost always see where a story is headed and this time I didn't. she's so good. buy it! worth every penny.

My new favorite author!

Another great performance, both in the story and the reading. Great details, too, meaning she really did her homework on brains!

Strong start... then a flop

I loved Something in the Water so I decided to give this one a try from the same author. It started out very strong and I thought I had a winner... and it went downhill from there. So disappointing, convoluted and a waste of time ... Save your credit.
