Ridpath is an established author and it shows here, ''Amnesia'' is a tight, well-constructed thriller which races along at a steady pace. The chapters focused on Alastair's history, as told in the mysterious volume found by Clemence, add an extra dimension to the story and allow the reader to develop their view, not only of Alastair but also the key players involved in his past; handsome Stephen, elegant Sophie, driven Nathan, rich and generous Alden and his long-suffering wife Madeline. The reader is drawn into heady summer days of excess and love unrequited before being transported back to the freezing present in the wilds of Scotland and to a man desperate to reconcile the version of himself in print with the reality facing him in the mirror.
