Trust No One

 Trust No One , this seems to be a popular title so make sure you get the novel is written by Paul  Cleave.

A unusual thriller novel.   As the protagonist begins to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, he is becoming more and more confused and losing memories.  Jerry Gray is a mystery writer, who uses an alias Henry Cutter to write his mystery series.  As we read about his slow dive into the abyss he cannot tell the difference between what he has done or what he has written his mystery novel characters doing. The wall between real life and the world of writing become more entangled as he loses life as he knew it. 

I do not want to give too much of the plot away... Jerry Gray is telling his story, but then sometimes hands the story telling over to Henry Cutter, who writes in a different style.  We are hearing both from Jerry before he sinks into Alzheimer's and later Jerry after he is confused and mixing his mystery plots with the real life happening around him.

But don't trust me...read it yourself.
