2012 book 11

Daniel O'Malley's The Rook
I'm not sure I can summarize this effectively, but here goes: a woman finds herself by a bunch of bodies wearing gloves, and there's a letter in her pocket explaining that her memories have been taken--she works as a high-up admin type for a super secret British organization that deals with supernatural stuff, and someone within the organization is a traitor! So of course she has to try and find out what the heck happened--as well as dealing with all the other crazy crazy crazy things her job entails. It makes for a delightfully weird and interesting story, with some highly entertaining characters. I REALLY liked this. Great world-building. A/A-.
