Mr. Nobody

A Novel

By: Catherine Steadman

Narrated by: 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.

Along for the ride

From Mr. Nobody to Something in the Water, it’s clear that Catherine enjoys an unhinged lead character. As long as you don’t try too hard to relate to the main character, you’ll probably have a fun experience. Otherwise you’ll be distracted by all the questionable choices they make... Enjoy the wild ride!

Where's her editor?

As with her first book, she needs to tighten up her work. Too drawn out, especially the first half. Frustrating to listen to. If I had been reading this myself, I would have been flipping pages like mad.

Love the book lover the author!

So good, love how detailed she is and the development of the story is amazing

Excellent twister

This book is worth a credit. Developed characters, small details that come around toward the end great twists and turns highly recommended.

Four and a half stars !

I loved this book and I would have given it 5 stars but the ending was a bit anticlimactic.
The performance was spot on - which surprises me because authors are not typically great performers. Definitely worth your points.
