Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-09 00:00:00 Anella Perez Wow! What an awesome thriller! This is my first Meg Gardiner, and the little sticker on the front of the book says 'As gripping as Tess Gerritsen or your money back'!! As I am an avid Tess Gerritsen fan, and the book was only $5, I decided to take a chance. And boy, am I glad I did! Forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett was called to a recently landed plane from the Congo, where a man by the name of Ian Kanan has had to be restrained for his erratic behaviour. He had tried to open the plane door in flight, was screaming hysterically, and two passengers had tackled him to the floor, one of them being slightly injured in the process. Kanan was locked in the toilet while the rest of the flight disembarked in San Francisco. But when Kanan was spoken to, he had no memory of what had happened, and was confused as to why they wanted to take him to the hospital. Then they discovered an anomaly in his brain, which meant he was suffering from a rare form of amnesia where he was unable to form new memories, and forgot everything again after 5 minutes. Kanan also believed his family had been kidnapped, and he had been exposed to a deadly biological agent, which the kidnappers wanted in exchange for his family. But is he delusional? Jo and best friend, Lieutenant Amy Tang are desperate to find out. And when Ian Kanan escapes from hospital, attacking Jo on the way out, then more bodies appear, it seems ex-soldier Kanan is a murderer. But where is Seth? And why doesn't Misty appear to be who she's supposed to be? Will Jo manage to discover the truth before it's too late... The breakneck speed of this suspense thriller is absolutely riveting and I literally could not put it down! I will definitely be reading more in this series by Meg Gardiner!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-23 00:00:00 Javier Martinez The memory collector by Meg Gardiner is book 2 in the Jo Beckett mystery series. Forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett is called to an airplane when a passenger acts erratically and finds that he is suffering from a rare form of amnesia where he is unable to form new memories. It is found that he may have been exposed to a contaminant that he was forced to obtain after his family is kidnaped. A fast paced and captivating thriller with plenty of suspense and action. A bit unbelievable in parts but very enjoyable nonetheless.My first book by this author and it won't be my last.
