Award-winning journalist Lexie Logan wakes up in a hospital with absolutely no memory of the previous night. A former addict, she’s horrified to learn that the alcohol and drugs in her system could have killed her. But her years of sobriety make her certain she didn’t deliberately overdose—especially when an overeager detective decides she’s also guilty of murdering the only other person found at the scene. When her fellow journalists turn on her, and she becomes news fodder instead of a newsmaker, Lexie fights to remember The Forgotten Night, clear her name, and unmask the killer. But that won’t be easy when the people who created her technology are listening to her every move and will do anything to stop her from learning the truth. In a world increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence, humanity has traded safety for convenience, and J. T. Bishop has captured our future in words.

J. T. Bishop has produced a masterpiece in The Forgotten Night by combining conspiracy, murder mystery, and the current debate surrounding artificial intelligence. I love the way she infuses her plot with timely issues while showcasing a near future in which technological takeover is widely accepted. The tide of social opinion is controlled by the media, and Bishop demonstrates how easily it can be manipulated. The prevailing theme of the novel is distortion—nothing is what it seems. Convenience has allowed a technological monopoly to overtake human autonomy, while Lexie’s view of her own flaws has shaken her confidence and pushed her to succeed professionally even as she sees her personal life as a failure. I love a great conspiracy novel, and the twists and turns in The Forgotten Night did not disappoint.

Framed for the death of a corporate employee, an investigative reporter fights to prove her innocence in the exciting thriller, The Forgotten Night by J.T. Bishop. Lexie Logan is now alcohol-free, and when she wakes up in the hospital recovering from an overdose with no memory of what occurred, she is upset and frightened. A woman was murdered near the alley where Lexie was found, but nobody believes Lexie is a possible second victim. Instead, she is considered the chief suspect in the woman’s murder. Determined to prove her innocence, Lexie starts her own investigation. As she digs into the murdered victim’s life, she uncovers a deadly conspiracy connected to a media giant. But who will believe her? With a police detective trying to prove Lexie’s guilt, and the unknown assailant waiting in the wings to finish her off, time is running out. Can she find the answers before the clock runs out?

The Forgotten Night by J.T. Bishop is a thrilling tale of murder, conspiracy, and corporate subterfuge. The story moves at an even pace, brimming with action, drama, and suspense. You can feel the clock ticking as the anxiety and tension rise. With substantial, well-defined characters and a well-developed plotline, the story is authentic and relatable. The ending is masterfully concluded, with the story coming to a close with most of the strings tied up. The few strands that are dangling are just enough of a cliffhanger to have you salivating for the next installment of the series. Everyone who is a fan of the Remalla and Daniels series will be glad to find them taking a small role in helping Lexie. I highly recommend this exciting page-turner to everyone who loves crime fiction filled with mystery and suspense.

In The Forgotten Night: A Lexie Logan Mystery Thriller Book One by J. T. Bishop, investigative journalist Lexie Logan wakes up in the hospital with a growing sense that something is terribly wrong. Lexie cannot immediately remember what had happened, but she soon learns that Dr. Patel was found murdered. Lexie is suspected of the murder. Lexie wonders if the attack on her was some sort of payback after she had recently exposed numerous powerful people and their crimes. When Lexie returns home from the hospital, she discovers a mysterious envelope with a ringing burner phone. The caller identifies himself as Zephyr and claims to be a friend. Zephyr says he knows what happened to Dr. Patel. Zephyr warns Lexie that his information could get them both killed. Lexie is determined to uncover the truth and clear her name.

J.T. Bishop's thriller is filled with mystery, suspense, and intrigue. The plot is fast with non-stop action. The characters are realistic, and Lexie is determined, intelligent, and at times vulnerable. She faced danger and uncertainty head-on. Zephyr added to the mystery and tension, keeping me on the edge of my seat. The writing style was engaging. I had a hard time putting the book down; I was too afraid I would miss something important. I could not wait to find out what would happen next, and was surprised every time. The Forgotten Night had me hooked from the start until the end. I enjoyed reading the book and look forward to the next one.
