Lost by Michael Robotham

3.0

Although this was the second in the Joseph O'Loughlin series, it was the first one I've read. It's told from the viewpoint of DI Vincent Ruiz who wakes up from a coma after being shot and left for dead in the Thames. The seemingly simple title of the book could be applied to many angles in the story: DI Ruiz's memory loss, a personal loss from his past, and the loss of a missing girl that haunts him several years after the case was closed to name but a few. As Ruiz recovers and attempts to reconstruct what happened, it becomes clear that there is a tie to the case of the missing girl. However, no one is eager for him to revisit the case, despite his conviction that the girl is still alive. The story has many twists and turns that are not fully revealed until the final pages.
