A mystery written from the point of view of a person with Alzheimer's? It was hard to imagine how a writer could pull this off, but Alice LaPlante does it. The mystery itself is not so mysterious, perhaps, but the human brain certainly is. The narrator is a brilliant surgeon who is a "person of interest" in an investigation into the murder of her best friend. During the course of the novel, we are made aware of the progress of the disease as the narrator's thoughts become increasingly divorced from reality. Or are they?
