Book Log 2007 #16: Lost by Michael Robotham
Not related to the TV show, Lost is the story of a London police detective who is suffering from amnesia in the wake of being shot and fished out of the Thames. The only clue to what he was doing comes from a photo he had on him of a girl whose disappearance he investigated years previously - a case for which a man was sent to prison. We follow the detective as he puts together just what he was doing in the time before being pulled from the river, and begins to suspect that the missing girl was not, as previously thought, killed. Even as the girl remains lost and the detectives memory are recovered, we're shown other ways in which the detective is lost - to his fellow officers and to his family.
I really enjoyed this one, from the nicely-defined characters to the pace to an ending that made two or three unexpected jumps. Recommended.
