The "Detective loses his memory" plot device has been done before, but Michael Robotham does it exceedingly well. 'Lost' presents a very good, twisty mystery involving London Detective Inspector Vincent Ruiz trying to find an abducted child who was assumed dead (and for whose murder a pedophile was convicted), after being wounded in a shootout he can't remember.
Psychologist/Sleuth Joseph O'Loughlin puts in an appearance helping his once accuser/now friend to recover his memory and solve the case.. but this is a D.I. Ruiz procedural. Fortunately, it's also a very well-contrived/well-executed whodunit (O'Loughlin fans won't be disappointed).

Narrator Ray Lonnen does an impressive job reading the book. His diction, timbre, cadence, tone, and rate of reading are spot-on. The main drawback to the performance is a dry mouth - occasional swallows and lip-smacks mar the delivery - but Lonnen's superior voice-acting nearly makes up for the deficiencies (emotive, distinctive, and largely free of affected accents). Bravo to W.F. Howes Ltd. on the casting choice and sound quality (although I recommend avoiding earbuds).

This most enjoyable mystery merits 9 stars out of 10. Do not hesitate to spend the Credit.
