This was a fascinating story and a very complicated storyline that kept my brain fully engaged. A variety of characters who were all essential to the story. Lots of action and variety and an amazing conclusion which I didn't come close to anticipating.

Maddie Woods works in the local fish market in Brighton. A recovering drug addict and alcoholic, she remembers little of her past. Her partner Jono has disappeared, leaving her alone in the derelict house they shared. Maddie is also a police informer. She is gathering information about her boss Ned, one of the two owners of the market. She is aware of his drug supplying and trafficking activities and puts herself in danger as she gathers information to subsidise her meagre income from the market. With her scarred face and damaged leg, she is usually overlooked by Ned and his thugs, although being such a nondescript figure, she does come in handy to occasionally assist in their nefarious activities. When she works out a plan to gain the kind of information that will put Ned away for a long time and give her enough money to leave Brighton, she has no idea that her meeting with DI Lucy Merry will change her life completely and that quite by accident, DNA will reveal who she really is. Wow! I was completely hooked on this book. The first part, detailing Maddie’s life in Brighton made me feel uneasy. She was dealing with some dangerous people, and things could have gone so badly wrong. When she returns to her old life she finds herself having to deal with a new set of challenges. With professional help, her dreams and flashbacks begin to shape her lost past. However, the more she begins to remember, the more danger is finds herself in. The owner of the mystery voice, who pops up occasionally, confesses they are responsible for what happened to her, and it’s clear they aren’t finished with her. But who are they? And why are they doing this? A well-constructed twisty tale that I found difficult to put down. Very addictive.
