Amnesia by L J Ross is a book in the Dr Alexander Gregory series, which follows on from the Carl Deere manhunt where two women are hospitalised. Chief Inspector Ava Hope and Dr. Naomi Palmer, whom Dr. Gregory has fallen in love with. Unfortunately, Naomi Palmer is in a coma and has not yet recovered whereas Ava Hope is now recovering from her physical injuries. The storyline looks at the past, the present and even the future of Chief Inspector Ava Hope and why she did the things she did and where she ends up at the end of the book. A child disappears whose father is a member of parliament and Dr Gregory and his colleague, Bill Douglas manage to find him unharmed physically. A sombre look at the ways justice is metered out to people and how childhood trauma has repercussions throughout adulthood. Highly recommended
