About this listen

Memories can be a real killer.

Melvin Mars awaits his fate on death row. He was one of America's most promising football stars until, aged 20 years old, he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his parents - just as he was due to begin a very lucrative contract with the NFL.

When Amos Decker, newly appointed special agent with the FBI, hears the news that Melvin was saved in the final seconds before his execution because someone has confessed to the killings, he persuades his boss to allow him to carry out an investigation into the Mars murders. There are facts about the case which don't add up, and as the investigation deepens, Decker and his team uncover layer upon layer of lies and deception rooted at a time in American history which most would rather forget, but some seem keen to remember.

There is someone out there with a lot to hide and a secret that everyone is looking for. A race against time ensues, because when revealed, that information threatens to tear apart the corridors of power at the very highest level. The case proves to be life-changing for both Mars and Decker in ways that neither could ever have imagined.

The character of overweight Amos Decker, the man who an accident left with perfect memory is a very good one. I looked forward to listening to this novel and was rewarded with an interesting, ever-twisting plot which would lead us on a merry goose chase before the villains were unmasked . It is good but two things stopped me giving it 5 stars. First, Amos does rather over-explain everything and second, linked to the first, for all his genius he comes across as rude and rather annoying in a way I never noticed when reading the first book. However,I am hooked and will definitely be reading the rest of this series.

I enjoyed this book but felt i knew what was coming before it happened. I liked the first book in this series better. I was eager to listen to this because of that one but although it held my attention i am not eagerly waiting to hear the next.

Good but not as good as the first in this series

Great story with lots of twists and turns. Great narration. However each audible chapter consisted of at least 3 chapters from the book itself. As someone who regularly uses sleep function to end of chapter I found this annoying.

Confused by chapter numbers
