Editorial reviews

Memory Man is the latest release from best-selling crime author David Baldacci and is a hair-raising unabridged crime thriller audiobook narrated by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy. Listeners are kept hanging on to every word as Amos Decker, once professional football player now police detective, embarks on a mission using a very unique gift and exceptional detective skills to find the person responsible for brutally murdering his family. The twisting plot in this audio makes it utterly absorbing. Listeners will be searching for clues as much as Decker himself. Available from Audible now.

Publisher's Summary

The first in the Amos Decker series, Memory Man is an astounding audiobook from blockbuster author David Baldacci, where an extraordinary man races to hunt down a terrible killer.

When Amos Decker returned home eighteen months ago to find the bodies of his wife and only daughter, he didn't think he could carry on living. Overwhelmed with grief, he saw his life spiral out of control, losing his job as a detective, his house and his self-respect. But when his former partner in the police, Mary Lancaster, visits to tell him that someone has confessed to the murder of his family, he knows he owes it to his wife and child to seek justice for them.

As Decker comes to terms with the news, tragedy strikes at the local school. Thirteen teenagers are gunned down, and the killer is at large. Following the serious brain injury Amos suffered as a professional footballer, he gained a remarkable gift – and the police believe that this unusual skill will assist in the hunt for the killer.

Amos must endure the memories he would rather forget, and when new evidence links the murders, he is left with only one option.

Memory Man will stay with you long after the final chapter. The series continues with The Last Mile.

Great way to share a book on a car journey.

My wife and I really enjoyed 'reading' the same book on a long car trip recently. We listened to a few chapters then discussed our who dunnit theories. Great fun reading.

Hmmmm

A bit weird as to why the main character was linked to all the fatalities. Kept thinking what has this got to with him and why would this happen. Tenuous at best. preferred David Baldacci's last character.

However, Ron Mclarty and Orlagh Cassidy are awesome as always!!

Enjoyable and captures your interest from the start.

As with his other books, David holds your interest, you just don't want to put it down, a need to know what is going to happen next.

Good Story/Poor Female performance

The female voice actor sounds a bit like a robot. Everyone but the main character is completely stupid and can't work anything out hahaha good story though

Compelling story line

Loved the idea an ex cop had a freak accident and the outcome was he has 100% memory of all the past. Could not put it down.
Bring on the many sequels.
