[Paul Mackin]

I've just read in succession three novels of a genre they're now calling 
neuro-thrillers.

They're all about memory  loss, a very hot topic at the moment for some 
reason.

Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante  (protagonist with rapidly progressing 
dementia)

Stone Arabia by Dana Spiotta (protagonist who fears oncoming Alzheimer's 
because of family history)

Before I Go To Sleep by S. J. Watson (protagonist with trauma induced 
amnesia of a very peculiar kind}

Was happy with all three.  Well enough written. Stone Arabia probably 
shouldn't even be call genre. Recommend it for people knowledgeable 
about punk and related music.
