I feel like amnesia is a plot line that an author can only used once and this author already has another book with something very similar, and the same outcome. I feel cheated.

September 20, 2023I want you to return the coin collection."
Charles Vincent allowed his gaze to dwell on Claire -- and in that split second she was aware of his utmost contempt.
What had happened to their marriage? Claire tried to remember, but the fog of amnesia concealed the truth.
She only knew that Charles believed she had stolen the priceless collection. Why had she done it? Where were the coins? While the questions remained unanswered, could there be any place for her in his life?

I won't give anything away here, except to say I liked this one a lot! I have a weakness for amnesia stories, and this one had enough mystery and intrigue to make it entertaining, as well as a twist that I didn't see coming (though there was a hint I should have picked up on.) I liked the way the truth comes back in bits and pieces, not all in one WOW!! moment.
One thing though: there was a very dubious psychiatrist in this story, despite all his French charm. He was clearly suffering from what I call "reverse transference", and should have taken himself off the case as soon as he realized his romantic feelings for the h. Very unprofessional!
