* This is an updated edition of this Kindle edition. * She'll do anything to get her daughter back. But can she uncover the dark secrets of her past in time to save her child? A gripping psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist. Madeline was sixteen when she was taken by the Singing Woods Killer, slated to become his fifth victim. She escaped, killing him in the process. But the ordeal left her with no memory of the week she spent as his captive, and a rare psychological disorder that preys on her mind, distorts what she sees. For years she's known that she can't trust her own thoughts. That's why no one believes her now, twenty years later—including herself—when she starts seeing the dead man who abducted her. At the supermarket. In her back yard. But when her own sixteen-year-old daughter goes missing, Madeline begins to think she may not be crazy after all. He's back. And he wants her to suffer. Now, if she can't uncover the truth about what happened to her twenty years ago, her daughter will die. And she'll be next. Powerful and captivating, WHAT SHE FORGOT is an unrelenting, heart-stopping psychological thriller perfect for fans of Gone Girl, I Am Watching You, Silent Child, and The Girl on the Train.
