Summary

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.

Interesting and annoying in equal measures

The concept of the story is an interesting one. However there were a few 'holes' in it that were never really explained and the lead character was irritating to say the least. This being said I did need to keep listening which is unusual for me when I don't like a character. So all in all if you don't want examine the facts too closely and can deal a neurotic lead character its not a bad listen.

Absolute Nonsense

This book is diabolical, it made no sense and was a complete waste of listening time. If this is defined as a suspense thriller then the term suspense thriller needs to be redefined.

Very dissapointing

I was not sure how to rate this book. I overall liked the first 90% of the book minus non stop 'Caroline? Caroline!! Caroline!!!' which was annoying and not necessary. The ending (last 10%) however was absolutely dissapointing. I felt cheated. The impression I had the author had no idea how to finish the book and just came up with something, something not good. There were also many holes and gaps in the plot. The narrator was very good though. She made the book, even the ending, bearable.
