5 years ago Helen goes on a skiing trip to Switzerland with her husband Paul. He comes up missing in treacherous conditions. Everyone assumes he’s dead. Present day Helen is moving on with her life and has a fiancé and 4 year old daughter. She is now an interior designer and gets a job decorating a Chalet in the Swiss Alps where her husband went missing. She keeps thinking she’s seeing her dead husband and strange things start happening.
This was a very suspenseful read with a surprise ending. It was hard to put down.
Thanks NetGalley and Inkubator Books for this ARC!

Anything by Miranda Rijks is an automatic buy for me, and this one did not disappoint.

Forget Me Not felt authentic - I could feel the coldness of the blustering snow in the Swiss Alps, see the skiers slaloming down the mountainside, and feel Helen's desperation as she searches for first her husband Paul, and then years later is shattered by another search on the mountainside.

I loved how the story revolves around the tale of Paul and what he does for love. Stupid boy.

And finally, I loved the elements of interior design, which Helen is trying to balance with everything else going on in her life. The delays, homeowner expectations and clashes with contractors also ring true to life.

Thank you, Miranda, for coming through with another creative plot and suspenseful narrative.

And thanks to NetGalley, Inkubator Books and Booksprout for an advance reader's copy for review

From the ominous cover image, a mayen nestled in the Swiss Alps, to the final word, Rijks will have you engaged in the atmosphere of panic. You'll feel jumpy and get caught up in the rush as she builds up the tension that creates her signature thriller.

Set in Corviez, a small but upcoming resort, in Valais, Switzerland Rijks’ plot centers around the actions of a man stuck in a conundrum - a situation he should never have gotten himself into in the first palace.

The author explores the split-second decisions we make every minute of the day and shows us that we never fully appreciate the consequences of those decisions until it’s too late. She also examines the definition of love and questions if that’s all that’s needed for a successful marriage.

I loved the chapters from Helen Sellers’ point of view because she’s definitely the underdog in this novel and has the most to lose. With all her baggage, she brings complexity and emotion to the story and gives it character. Rikjs’ use of multiple points of view allows us to see inside the head of most of her characters, thus building more dramatic tension.

As is always the case, (1) I walk away with more knowledge and (2) am challenged. This time I was educated about the traditions of the canton of Valais; the Inalpe festival, Desalpe, and the combats de reines. I loved how the author leads us to question if we were facing the same circumstances, what would we do?

I enjoyed the captivating story which I raced through in a day and the sinister read full of twists which kept me off balance and piled on the pressure. Most appealing was the freshness; a new and unique setting, with an unpredictable plot and great, new characters with not often written about careers.

My only regret? That we were not having raclette for dinner.

I was gifted this advance copy by Inkubator books and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
