I absolutely loved this book. It held my interest all the way through and I never guessed who the murderer was. My jaw dropped when I realised I had not made the connection .
I’m so happy there are 2 more books by this author as I loved her writing style.

I disappeared on a Tuesday afternoon. I was there one minute and the next I was gone. They’ve never found my body…
 
It’s six in the morning during the hottest summer on record when Elizabeth O’Loughlin, out walking her dog, comes across Clare, a victim of a horrific knife attack, clinging onto life at the side of the road.
 
Clare dies minutes later, but not before whispering her haunting last words to Elizabeth.
  
When it becomes clear that Clare’s killer has more than one murder on his mind, Elizabeth has to take drastic action or face losing everything.
 
But what if she can’t stop a killer determined never to be forgotten?

Wow this was a brilliant read - I could not put it down!  Plenty of intrigue, suspense and twists and turns to keep me gripped.  Many thanks to netgalley for an arc in return for my honest opinion.

I couldn't stop reading this - so gripping! Didn't expect the twist towards the end, which was very well done. Can't wait for more from the author!

I really enjoyed this book; a truly intriguing storyline with wonderful characters.  Will take you by surprise as it reaches its conclusion; definitely a gripping page turner.  Didn't want to put this one down as always wanting to know what happened next and a great read.

This is the first book I've read by this author and it certainly won't be my last!  This was a brilliant and gripping crime thriller which sucked me in from the first chapter.   An excellent read.

Another brilliant read. I really enjoyed 99 red balloons and this is probably even better. 
Straight in to the story it will pull you in and you won’t be able to put it down. 
Magnificent!
5/5 on goodreads and Amazon

I was very excited after reading the prologue of the book, I was slightly disappointed that it didn’t really fit in to the book.  

This book is told from alternating perspectives of retired nurse Elizabeth and Rachel. Elizabeth is walking her dog when she finds a dying girl, Clare, on the side of the road. She tries to help her but the damage is to severe.  She is haunted by Clares last words”warn them”

Rachel was best friends with Clare. She is completely gutted by the death of her best friend. It isn’t long after that she starts to receive threats. Was the warning meant for her?  Is there a connection between Clare, Elizabeth and Rachel?

The book started a little slow but it picked up. The characters are written well and I was compelled to find out who did it.

I was confused from the start with this.
The prologue did not appear to tie in with the story.
I just found the whole story boring and it really struggle to hold my attention.
I know others have found it far better but it was not for me.

Clare dying was only the beginning. The beginning in a long line of games, threats and odd feelings for a close group of friends. Elizabeth can't seem to escape the weird events either. 

Each friend of Clare deals with her death and the threats differently. Neither really wanting to believe that anything more sinister than a random attack is going on. That's the only thing that makes sense in their minds. Who would want to hurt Clare? 

A story that will have you rethinking the events of your own life. The people who you've crossed paths with and the interactions that have taken place. You never know when you could inadvertently or leathaly offend someone.

A good thriller which I really enjoyed up to around the three quarter mark then it started to unravel. Then lots of the action became unlikely especially without giving too much away how Rachel behaved when her family were at risk. 
Overall I would have liked to give it three and a half but as that’s not possible it’s a reluctant four stars from me.

this book will keep you glued to your seat, reading into the night (well, that's what I did!) - the narrator pulls you in right from the beginning, and we begin to sense the sinister and creeping danger too - these two women were great friends, but now her friend is mysteriously dead - why? and the twists and turns go on until the very last minute. but, okay, this is very good and skilful, but what is extra special about Allan as writer is how she brings it home - it feels all just like my life, my friends, my dilemmas from tiny details to broad strokes. and that's why she is really so very good and unique. highly recommended ...

What an absolute page turner. Forget me not had everything you could ask for in a thriller. There was death, secrets and plenty of twists and turns. It had me gripped from the opening page.

I have to be honest here and say that this book became a must read for me entirely based on this brilliant cover! As soon as I saw it I had to grab a copy and read it right away. I’m so pleased to say that the novel lives up to the great cover and I very much enjoyed this crime thriller. It follows the discovery of the body of a young woman who has been murdered. The novel is told from the viewpoints of Elizabeth, who found the dead woman, and Rachel, the murdered woman’s best friend. Both woman have a lot in their own lives and so when the murder happens their nerves are brought to breaking point. I loved both strands of the novel and was keen to see how it was all going to turn out. I was thrilled that I was kept guessing until the reveal happened as it’s not very often that I can’t put the pieces together in a crime novel. I did have my suspicions and I was close but I didn’t get it figured out. Huge kudos to Claire Allan for keeping me on my toes! I loved this book, it’s Claire’s best thriller to date and I highly recommend it!

After devouring Claire Allan's first two psychological thrillers I was so much looking forward to reading her latest book Forget Me Not.

I certainly wasn't disappointed and this book had me gripped from the very first page. A great storyline, good mix of characters and a fabulous double twist towards the end was the perfect recipe for another great read from the author who is fast becoming one of my favourites.

The second book I have read of Claire’s and I wasn’t disappointed. Such an intense psychological thriller that’s set in Ireland.  Two narrators and one murder that has many twists and turns. An exceptional read

Forget Me Not by Claire Allan is a psychological thriller set in Derry, Ireland where Claire is from. Clare is found brutally murdered on the side of the road.. managing to whisper a warning to Elizabeth before passing away. Soon Julie, Elizabeth & Rachel are receiving similar flower arrangements with strange notes and Rachel insists she is being followed. So who is behind it all and what links these women together?

I really enjoyed this book. Although I guessed some of the twists - I definitely didn't see them all coming!

Great read!

This is my first Claire Allan book but won't be my last! The narration goes back and forth between Elizabeth, an elderly woman who finds a girl brutally murdered down the street from her house, and that girl's best friend, Rachel. This is a difficult one to give a plot summary for because of all the twists and turns. The characters in this book are a little underdeveloped, and some are downright unlikable, but the story is so much fun it's easy to overlook that. I flew through this creepy little thriller.
