All You Took From Me

Set between the Blue Mountains and a Sydney hospital, Lisa Kenway's All You Took from Me is a thriller brimming with great characters and nail-biting tension.

Anaesthetist Clare Carpenter has just lost her husband and her memory in a single-vehicle accident. So why is a stranger following her? After questioning patients about their dreams, she becomes convinced that an anaesthetic drug might help her access missing memories. But there's no way to be certain without jeopardising her career or her life.

As unexplained threats escalate, Clare realises she must take matters into her own hands to learn the uncomfortable truth about her secretive husband, his connection to a mysterious club and what she did to trigger a stranger's crusade for vengeance. But how far will she go?

Readers are destined to fall in love with the ways Kenway brings such expertise and a unique perspective to the psychological thriller genre.' - Shelley Burr, author of Wake and Ripper

'A taut psychological thriller with a driving plot, All You Took From Me interrogates the limits of memory, both lost and recovered. From its compelling opening mystery, every page bristles with threat and intrigue.' - Ashley Kalagian Blunt, bestselling author of Dark Mode

'Kenway brings an exciting level of insider authenticity to this simmering drama about an anaesthetist struggling to make sense of a life unspooling in the aftermath of a tragic accident. Tense, twisty and unique, this is an unforgettable debut.' - Anna Downes, author of The Safe Place and Red River Road

'I found myself first pulled in by the prose - Kenway writes like a dream - but soon I was consumed by the mystery at the heart of the story â" the question of where we go and what happens to us under the narcotic oblivion of anaesthesia. Charged with menace and paranoia, this is a masterfully plotted psychological thriller.' - J.P. Pomare, author of In he Clearing and 17 Years Later
