The Memory Box

De: Eva Lesko Natiello

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

What would you do if you googled yourself and uncovered something shocking?

In this gripping psychological thriller, a group of privileged suburban moms amuse themselves by googling everyone in town, digging up dirt to fuel thorny gossip. Caroline Thompson, devoted mother of two, sticks to the moral high ground and attempts to avoid these women. She's relieved to hear her name appears only three times, citing her philanthropy. Despite being grateful that she has nothing to hide, a delayed pang of insecurity prods Caroline to google her maiden name - which none of the others know.

The hits cascade like a tsunami. Caroline's terrified by what she reads. An obituary for her sister, JD? That's absurd. With every click the revelations grow more alarming. They can't be right. She'd know. Caroline is hurled into a state of paranoia, upending her blissful family life, desperate to prove these allegations false before someone discovers they're true.

The disturbing underpinnings of The Memory Box expose a story of deceit, misconceptions, and an obsession with control. With its twists, taut pacing, and psychological tenor, Natiello's pause-resisting suspense cautions: Be careful what you search for.

Captivating story line.

HATED the way the book ended! The author left us hanging. Hated the ending so much.

Be patient with it!

Any additional comments?

This book started out well but became rather tedious for a while. However when the tapes from Caroline's past arrive the pace really picks up. The Memory Box goes from a chore to read to can't put down in the blink of an eye! I highly recommend!

Loved the twists

I felt like I was losing my mind right along with her. This had lots of twists and I couldn’t stop listening. Definitely worth pushing through to finish even though I felt crazy at some points.

Decent story, didn’t care for the narrator.

Didn’t care for the narrator. Cringed when she mimicked the little girl characters and the husband in a different voice. The story itself was okay, some parts predictable and some surprises. I think I would have liked it better as an actual book read and not on audible.

Opening a Memory Box

A vertiginous descent into a mind displaying various psychiatric anomalies. Found myself skittering along the edges as Caroline dragged me along the twists in her behavior. Good narration. Surprising final twists.
