I listened to Final Cut by S. J. Watson. What a disappointment! Watson wrote the terrific Before I Go to Sleep a few years back--featuring a woman with a form of amnesia. He's back to an amnesiac heroine in Final Cut, but it's a mess. It didn't help that the main female narrator did not do a good job of differentiating between the male characters in her sections of the multicast book, adding to the confusion. Early on, I knew instinctively where a couple of the plot threads were going, killing the element of surprise. Major let-down.
