“Forget Me Not” is M.J. Arlidge’s brand new novel in his popular DI Helen Grace series.  Anyone who has read books by this author will know just how thrilling he makes his stories and with often stomach turning scenes, he makes the perfect reading for me. 

 

From the opening chapter on day one, I was instantly hooked and it was very difficult to put the book down with so much going on. Hitting on modern themes, with homelessness, misogyny, #MeToo and another much more distressing story, these were either handled with respect or with the empathy the victims deserved. 

 

I wasn’t too sure about a couple of things within the station that occurred, with regard to how the suspect was investigated and it certainly became frustrating as Helen and Charlie found their hands legally tied. However, this police procedural was spot on and had a real life feel to the various ‘major incident squad’ personalities. 

 

A very tense and nerve shredding thriller, with some very dark and heart wrenching scenes that some readers may find distressing - I myself must admit to having shivers of apprehension and to choking back the tears at certain times. 

 

“Forget Me Not” is pace perfect that pulls you in and doesn't let go until the nail biting end and with a race against time to find Naomi, you will literally be screaming at the characters to hurry up and get moving! 

 

I personally loved this book and will continue to read more by M.J. Arlidge, he’s a fantastic author with a brilliant imagination, who I highly recommend to readers of this genre.
