Perfect for you if...

You enjoy thrillers with a supernatural twist that doesn't overshadow the crime and corruption at the heart of the story.
You like protagonists who are genuinely vulnerable and confused, forced to trust their emotions when their memories betray them.
You appreciate intricate plots that layer personal stakes (a forgotten love) with larger threats (political corruption, serial murder).

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward crime procedurals without fantastical elements like memory manipulation powers.
You want a fast-paced page-turner, as this novel takes time to unfold its multiple mysteries alongside Harvey's emotional journey.
You need a reassuring or redemptive ending, as the cost of finding the forgotten girl proves genuinely high.

About this book

The Forgotten Girl is a thriller by Rio Youers, nominated for the 2018 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Novel. Harvey Anderson, a twenty-six-year-old street performer from New Jersey, lives a peaceful life until he is abducted and beaten by thugs working for a man called "the spider." These men have spent nine years searching for Harvey's girlfriend, Sally Starling, believing they have finally located her. However, Sally has disappeared from Harvey's memory entirely—she possesses the ability to selectively erase people's memories and has used it to remove herself from his mind. Despite having no recollection of Sally, Harvey finds himself still emotionally connected to her. Threatened by the spider, he sets out to find a girl he loves but cannot remember. His search leads him to uncover political corruption, a serial killer's secrets, and a dangerous appetite for power that extends far beyond what he anticipated.
