Publisher's summary

Twenty-five years ago Katie ran away from home and never came back. But now she's suddenly reappeared in her best friend Olivia's life - in the form of a chilling confession. Olivia's father-in-law, wracked with guilt, says he murdered her all those years ago. Tom suffers from Alzheimer's and his story is riddled with error and confusion. Except for one terrifying certainty: he knows where the body is buried.

As Olivia and the police piece together the evidence, they are left with one critical question. They have a crime, they have a confession, and now they have a body - but can any of it be trusted?

Wow! What a great read/listen!

This book was one I will definitely recommend, well developed characters, a story that wraps you up in it, and so many twists and turns...just when you think you gave it figured out...BAM...another surprise! I didn't see the end coming at all, love this type of book!!!

A Very Good Mystery!

This is a real mystery--kept from listeners until the final 20 minutes of the book! Hurray! That makes this one a winner despite a few little shortcomings. The main character gets her knickers in a twist over and over as she makes assumptions that are gradually proven false. Not the brightest bulb in the box as female characters go, but that's a small complaint. This is a complex plot with wonderful twists and turns and truly excellent narration. Well worth the time and credit.

Original plot

I wouldn't ordinarily give such a high rating to a book that annoyed me so much, but this one does have redeeming qualities. Lots of twists and kept moving along really well - every time I thought the story was detouring into some unnecessary verbiage, something actually did come out of it. And the reader did a great job of portraying the drama queen protagonist, whom I particularly disliked. I probably could have rated it higher, even, if I hadn't resented the author's portrayal of the two female protagonists as so stupid and/or irrational. I mean really, the two little girls seemed more emotionally mature than the mothers. Being female myself, I'd rather the females were portrayed in a more positive manner. But at least the real killer wasn't exposed until the end, and I didn't guess it earlier, and I do like that about a mystery.

a silly fool.

our heroine is a silly fo.ol. She should have k ept her mouth shut right along. glaD SHE FINALLY FOUND THAT OUT. Did not like this story as I believe you never betray family.

Great story, told too slowly

I really loved the plot of this book, it's what hooked me in the first place, but I really felt like there was too much time wasted on insignificant details. That's not to say that I struggled to get through it, but I wish I didn't have to spend as much time on the book to get to a conclusion that could've been reached much sooner. Overall, it wasn't a bad read.

Didn't see that coming!

Really enjoyed this one. Thought I had it all figured out and then it turned into another direction. Left me scratching my head. The narrator nailed all the characters which added to my 5 stars. If you want a great story that keeps you guessing then this is the one. Definitely worth the money or credit. 😀😀😀

Great Twist, Insufferable Lead

Would you try another book from Sibel Hodge and/or Anna Parker-Naples?

Yes, I would try another book from Sibel Hodge, see if she can create a less annoying, self-righteous main character

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes it was a compelling mystery.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anna Parker-Naples?

I don't know enough audio performers to know.

Do you think Where the Memories Lie needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, not at all. The main character is so insufferable and holier than thou, I wouldn't want to know any more about her or to hear her story further.

Loved it

Loved the plot, suspense and narration. Sibel Hodge has become one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed all of her books that I read so far. Her writing style reminds me of Tes Garretson.

I will keep looking for more of Sibel Hodge's books.

good book

swearing unnecessary, but overall good book. it would have been a great book if the swearing were not there.

Where the Memories Lie

Wonderful!!!! Tender story of love, mystery and heartache......
Can't wait to read another by this great author and narrator 👍🏼💐
