Kelli is one of my favorite authors and I have now read every book she's published. I recently caught up with her at a con in York, Pa and saw this little gem I had somehow missed.
In many ways, Forgotten is one of Kelli's best works. Solid writing, memorable characters, a compelling story, with excellent dialog.
I didn't really like the protagonist in Forgotten. But, that's OK. Maybe I wasn't supposed to like her. I'm sure some people will relate to her in a more positive way and that's OK, too. I think it has to do with your own individual life story. I think this makes for a great book in the way it can affect different people in disparate ways.
A woman's body is found in the supply closet of the women's room of a highway rest area just north of the Maryland/Pennsylvania border. She's alive, but can't recall her name or much of anything. Pulse-pounding from the very start.
The police investigation reveals her name and learns she has a husband and an infant, who is missing. Of this, she remembers nothing at all.
One delicious twist after another, and when she finally remembers, things get very interesting.
If you've never read Kelli Owen before, this is a great place to start.
Recommended.
Forgotten is available in both paperback and e-book formats.
From the author's bio - Born and raised in Wisconsin, Kelli Owen now lives in Destination, Pennsylvania. She has attended countless writing conventions, participated on dozens of panels and has spoken at the CIA Headquarters in Langley, VA regarding both her writing and the field in general. Her fiction leans toward thriller and quiet horror, with an occasional bloodbath and even rarer happy ending.
