(5)Mr. Nobody by Catherine Steadman

Saturday, January 25, 2020


A man washes up on a beach in England. He has no memory and the police know nothing about who he is or where he came from.  The only person who can help him is Dr. Emma Lewis.  She has been making a name for herself as a neuropsychiatrist and knows that helping "Mr.Nobody" could really bolster her career.  The only problem is that she will have to go to a place she left behind so many years ago.  Since leaving Emma has changed her name and tried to separate herself from what her father did to her family, to himself, and to many other people.  So much time has passed that she thought it would be safe to go back, that nobody would recognize her.  But she was wrong. She is immediately recognized, but worse, "Mr.Nobody" apparently knows her real name.  The name she hasn't used since she was a teen.  So who is he and what is his connection to Emma's past?

Mr. Nobody is a fast-paced thriller full of twists and turns. I really liked Emma as the main character. She was smart and interesting.  And unlike a lot of these thrillers, Emma had a support system with her brother, Joe. And the first person who recognized her was the cop investigating "Mr.Nobody." He was a friend of hers from high school, a friend who also happened to be married to a hungry reporter.  The end of the story got a little twisty but in a unique way.  A twist that hasn't been done before. 

Bottom Line - Mr. Nobody was a good thriller. Fast-paced and full of great twists.
