What Rose Forgot | Nevada Barr
19 posts | 19 read | 14 to read
In New York Times bestselling author Nevada Barr's gripping standalone, a grandmother in her sixties emerges from a mental fog to find she's trapped in her worst nightmare Rose Dennis wakes up in a hospital gown, her brain in a fog, only to discover that she's been committed to an Alzheimer's Unit in a nursing home. With no memory of how she ended up in this position, Rose is sure that something is very wrong. When she overhears one of the administrators saying about her that she's "not making it through the week," Rose is convinced that if she's to survive, she has to get out of the nursing home. She avoids taking her medication, putting on a show for the aides, then stages her escape. The only problem ishow does she convince anyone that she's not actually demented? Her relatives were the ones to commit her, all the legal papers were drawn up, the authorities are on the side of the nursing home, and even she isn't sure she sounds completely sane. But any lingering doubt Rose herself might have had is erased when a would-be killer shows up in her house in the middle of the night. Now Rose knows that someone is determined to get rid of her. With the help of her computer hacker/recluse sister Marion, thirteen-year old granddaughter Mel, and Mel's friend Royal, Rose begins to gather her strength and fight backto find out who is after her and take back control of her own life. But someone out there is still determined to kill Rose, and they're holding all the cards.

Mehso-so

I don‘t know what it is but I had a little difficulty initially getting into this book. Once it got going it got better but I still felt my mind wandering and skimming in parts. Not a bad story though with some action, a funny, crafty character and a little bit of thrill thrown in!

ReadingOver50 I love Nevada Barr, but this was not my favorite from her. 3y
Bec_lectic @ReadingOver50 good to know her others are better! I‘ll give her another chance 😊 3y

Crazeedi @EadieB that's good to know! 4y
EadieB @Crazeedi Right! Then you don't have to worry about reading out of order! @Andrew65 We call that ROOing! 4y
Crazeedi @EadieB love it!! hehehehe!!! 4y
EadieB @Crazeedi It's funny! I love it too! 4y
Andrew65 I used to Roo a lot, but not so much recently. I blame that Eadie! 🤣😂🤣 @EadieB @Crazeedi 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 You needed to be roped in! @Crazeedi 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB And you did a great job of that. 🤣 😊 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 Can't let you get too wild and crazy! 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB Good news today, MRI scan showed lesions in liver are benign. Now if they could only find out what was causing the pain and discomfort. But still great news. 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 Did they say what caused the lesions. 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB Only had letter so far as consultants not seeing patients at hospital face to face, but they had mentioned possible cysts previously. 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 Sounds like good news at least! 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB Indeed 😊 4y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 I'm so glad to hear your news, but what the cause is mystifying. I hope you find some answers for cause of pain. As I told you, I have issue similar around ribcage, and no real answer. Maybe just getting old! Have a great weekend friend🥰 4y
Crazeedi @EadieB @Andrew65 I dislike ROOing and I dont do unless unintentionally!!😉 4y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi Thanks 🥰 Hoping knowing now no major problem that things will ease off. Hope you get some answers too. Enjoy your gardening and reading. 😊 4y

I loved this! It's been awhile since I've read a suspenseful book that I did not want to put down. I love that the main character is an older woman. This book is fast-paced and even humorous at times.

Rose awakens in a memory care unit with an early onset dementia diagnosis and feels as though she is incarcerated. Then it becomes clear that things aren‘t what they seem. This is a good mystery with an overall serious tone but some good funny moments. I love Barr‘s Anna Pigeon series and this is just as good.

SW-T Greta looks adorable 🥰 Loved Barr‘s Anna Pigeon series. This certainly sounds intriguing and I‘m on a mystery binge these days. 5y

#24B4Monday #Scarathon #TeamSlaughter My first book completed and it is a psychological thriller so on point for my team! 68year old Rose wakes up having escaped from a memory care unit- as her system flushes the drugs she comes to realize she didn‘t belong there and something is wrong- and someone wants her dead-just because you‘re paranoid doesn‘t mean you are wrong! Love the characters- Rose is a bad a## and her 13 year old granddaughter rocks!

Is Rose Dennis demented or is someone trying to kill her? Humorous standalone. It starts out slowly with Rose as a crazy person at a nursing home. Someone is trying to kill her. Marion, her sister, is a computer/hacker recluse and with her 13 year old granddaughter, Mel, and Royal, Mel's friend, they hide Rose from the police. There is a lot of action as Rose is her own detective. Recommended! Thanks NetGalley and St. Martin's Press.

Readswithcoffee Sounds interesting. I‘ve not read anything by this author. I just put it on hold at my library.📚 5y
EadieB @Readswithcoffee Definitely a different type of mystery. 5y

Wowza! I really enjoyed this book- thank you, #NetGalley!! Rose comes to in a field, clad in a hospital gown and with huge gaps in her memory. Not even 70 years old, and aided by her teenage granddaughter, this is a delightful and surprisingly action-packed thriller as Rose picks ups the pieces of her life! Had it not been for a crazy night of terrible storms, I definitely would have read this in one sitting!

The first third of the book did not do it for me. It was slow moving, and I did not like the writing style. But once Rose was attacked in her house, the book switched into high gear and I became more invested in the characters. I enjoyed the scenes with Rose and her granddaughter Mel. I wish we had more with Rose's sister Marion. She is an interesting character, but was barely in the book. The ending with the reveal of the bad guys was a surprise.

My TBR for August. I am currently reading What Rose Forgot. I am about 30% in. I‘m not loving it yet but I hope it gets better because I really like the author. I am really looking forward to The Whisper Man.

ShelleyBooksie Those all look really good. I generally love Nevada Barr as well but did not really enjoy her last Anna Pigeon books as much as I have earlier ones in the series. 5y
ReadingOver50 @ShelleyBooksie this one is a stand alone. It feels different from the Anna Pigeon books. 5y

I‘m a huge Nevada Barr fan and love the Anna Pigeon series. When I heard there was a new stand alone novel, I jumped at the chance to get an ARC. I have to admit I almost bailed after the first few pages - they were quite disconcerting. I‘m so glad I stuck with the story. What a ride - even if it stretches the imagination a bit. Rose had to be in pretty good shape for a 65+ year old woman to survive the escapades that she gets into. A good read!
