Remember My Name has a unique storyline and is well told through the inclusion of several strong female protagonists.
In terms of the mystery, it's delightfully modern and I devoured the opening, however the middle did start to get a little slow. I do think some of the plot was a touch predictable, with perhaps one too many reveals to keep it grounded in reality.
I liked that plot itself is grounded in commercial espionage (albiet with a side of murder) and the interactions build gradually throughout the book to culminate in a shocking standoff. Whilst I enjoyed the initial insight into the company, however the ‘bad guys’ are slightly cliched - a fat Silicon Valley tech lead and a the Dublin 'mafia'.
I was still an enjoyable read though, and having previously not read any Sam Blake, I am intrigued by the idea that there's a Brioni prequel and may give that a go!
