Wonderful! I devoured this book. I love Nevada Barr; this is different from her Anna Pigeon novels. An elderly lady wakes up to find herself in the memory care ward of a nursing home with no memory of how she got there. But somehow she feels that it’s all a mistake, that she should at least remember something. With the help of her granddaughter and said granddaughter’s friend, she starts to piece things together. It’s sort of a madcap mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rose wakes up realizing that her family has committed her to an alzheimer's unit and has no idea why. She can not ask her family for help as they are the ones who put her there. I enjoyed the mystery in this book and the characters

I love Barr’s Amanda Pigeon books, so I was really curious about this standalone, and I wasn’t disappointed. The story centers around Rose, a woman who wakes up to find she’s been committed to an Alzheimer’s Unit, but has no memory of how she got there. She soon has reason to believe her life is in danger and begins stockpiling her medication in hopes of mounting an escape. She can’t trust her immediate family because they are the ones who had her committed. With some help from her computer savvy sister and her precocious granddaughter, Rose plots her escape, hoping to succeed before she’s silenced forever. This is a claustrophobia inducing nightmare, imagining being locked up in a place where no one believes you, knowing no matter what you say, it’s only going to make you sound more unhinged? This is a fantastic, first-rate thriller
