Suspense Psychological | Thriller
For fans of Louise Penny and Tana French, this haunting
debut novel “with a slight Broadchurch feel” (Sunday
Herald) explores the devastating repercussions of a long-
ago crime as it delves into forbidden relationships, the
emotional bond between mothers and daughters, and the
dark consequences of harboring secrets. It is the summer of 1956, and fifteen-year-old Betty
Broadbent has never left the Cornish fishing village of
St. Steele or ventured far beyond the walls of the Hotel
Eden, the slightly ramshackle boarding house run by her
moody, unpredictable mother. But Betty’s world is upended
when a string of brutal murders brings London’s press
corps flooding into the village, many of whom find
lodging at the Hotel Eden. She is instantly transfixed by
one of the reporters, the mysterious and strangely aloof
Mr. Gallagher—and he, fully twice her age, seems equally
transfixed by her. The unlikely relationship that blooms between Betty and
Mr. Gallagher is as overlaid with longing and desire as
it is with impropriety and even menace. And as the
shocking death toll rises, both Betty and Mr. Gallagher
are forced to make a devastating choice, one that will
shape their own lives—and the life of an innocent man—
forever. With narratives that shift from 1956 to the present day
and back, The Unforgotten is a mesmerizing and eerie
portrayal of two people bound to each other by a secret
that has the power to shape, and destroy, lives.
