You know those bad US tv shows/movies where everything is verbalised so no-one misunderstands anything? It's like that and it's infuriating.
Yes, Baldacci puts a neat twist on things and the kick off for the story keeps you interested but it's like a crime thriller for idiots - everything is explained and re-explained over and over. There is much to like about the start of Memory Man - it's an interesting premise, but surely we've seen 'damaged ex-policeman' about a million times. What did you like best about Memory Man? What did you like least? My first and last Baldacci book - bad narration. Memory Man will stay with you long after the final chapter. 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.Īmos must endure the memories he would rather forget, and when new evidence links the murders, he is left with only one option. Thirteen teenagers are gunned down, and the killer is at large. 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.Īs Decker comes to terms with the news, tragedy strikes at the local school. Overwhelmed with grief, he saw his life spiral out of control, losing his job as a detective, his house and his self-respect. 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. 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.
