About this listen
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.

Good Slow Reveal Yarn. Odd Narration
Good enough story with loads of twists and turns and was very happy to read it. I found the cut and edit of the narration really poor and frustrating. Orlagh was only ever used for female narration with Ron concluding with "she said" or similar. lead to a disjointed read.
Even Ron's bits were spliced and you could tel they had recorded bit in different studio. My guess this was to fix errors. That said the story was OK and i got used to it.
Found the conclusion a little hard to swallow. Some of the justifications as to why and when just felt a little unlikely.
BUT. I would happily read another of David's books

Good story, production shocking!
I liked this new character. I liked the story and the twists and turns, I was annoyed by the poor production as if it was a patchwork of recordings slung together. Not up to the high standard I would expect from Hachette.

brilliant story, strange rendering
The story is first rate. Vintage Baldacci. The actors are first rate too but there seems to be a glitch in the system as the male voice seemed to be on 2 different levels, as if something had gone wrong and so some over recording had been done. It did not detract from the great story but it did spoil my enjoyment in as much as it did break MY concentration and i was very aware of the break in the rhythm.

I can't fault listening experience other than..
It is the same actors in the last book I read by this author and this made the charcatures merge.. Good actors but for me would be better with new voices.

Ok story, annoying narrator
Story was good although repeated itself a lot.
Narrative terrible didn't flow at all! It was as though it was edited badly too.

MEMORABLE
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would. I thought it was very well written and narrated.
What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Due to a stroke a few years ago, I find that my concentration level is not what it was so reading it myself would have been in smaller sections. Because it was narrated I could take in more at one go than if read by myself.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened to it in largish sections because I thought that it was gripping.

Great book again....
After a few slow initial pages the book picked up nicely. I enjoyed the book, both the story and presentation. The team reading book was great.
