Publisher's Summary

Fans of Kathy Reichs’ Temperance Brennan novels will love forensic psychiatrist Jane Halifax. In Resurrection, Jane Halifax is back, but after suffering a terrible accident her memories have vanished – and to recover them, she must solve a twenty-year cold case that has haunted her career.

A near-fatal car accident has left Jane in a coma. When she wakes, she has no idea who she is.

Initially comforted by unlikely spectres from past cases, Jane is unaware of everyone else’s concerns: the police who believe she was deliberately run off the road; a lawyer whose files were in her car at the time of the accident – files he should never have lent her; her neurosurgeon who fears a relapse; and her partner, Tim, who has to cope with the fact Jane remembers almost nothing of the last two years – including their relationship.

A young woman called Luna keeps luring Jane back to the present. Linked to a twenty-year-old case from Jane’s past, Luna has a quest of her own she can only solve with Jane’s help.

But if Jane wants to help Luna, she first needs to heal herself, and there just might be reasons beyond the accident that are hampering Jane’s recovery ...

Critic Reviews

‘A thrilling, emotionally charged tour de force, beautifully structured and written. Halifax and Simpson at their best.’ (Shane Brennan, creator of NCIS LA)

‘A riveting portrait of a woman who has no memory of the life she has left behind or the danger she is in. And when that woman is my beloved Jane Halifax, it is even more deeply disturbing. Roger has done it again.’ (Rebecca Gibney, television’s Jane Halifax)

‘A tense, edge-of-the-seat weave of complex characters and flawed relationships, Resurrection is an intricate and multi-layered mystery, expertly teased out by a master story-teller.’ (Chris Nyst, Ned Kelly Award-winning writer of Millen)

Loved it

The start was a little slow with the memory loss but I ended up loving it.

Resurrection

I’m glad I pre-ordered this story. The storyline is complex, the narrator perfect. Initially it took a while for me to get into, but momentum took over as Jane took control of recovering her memory.

It’s a psychological thriller with somewhat predictable twists, and a gutsy, emotionally mature heroine. I like that the story is based in my home town Melbourne.

Rambling

I was disappointed I’m afraid. I really enjoyed the first book in the series but I found this one to be too much of a ramble about her amnesia and not enough decent storyline to carry it.

So disappointed

I love the Jane Halifax books but this one was too convoluted, jumping back and forwards. I won’t be ordering and paying before release again.
