The Memory

De: Lucy Dawson

Narrado por: Clare Corbett

She’ll never forget … I’ll never forgive. People always notice my daughter, Isobel. How could they not? Incredibly beautiful ... until she speaks. An unsettling, little-girl voice, exactly like a child’s, but from the mouth of a full-grown woman. Izzie might look grown-up, but inside she’s trapped. Caught in the day it happened … the day that broke her from within. Our family fell apart that day, and we never could pick up the pieces …©2018 Lucy Dawson (P)2018 Bolinda Publishing

A Slow Burner

An interesting story with great narration but it still seemed to drag on in places.

Surprise

Great surprise. I really enjoyed this book. I would have never guessed the ending!
I have a little trouble understanding the accent of the storyteller.

This is a 5 star book

This is my most favorite Lucy Dawson book. I don't understand all these bad reviews. They came across the spooky part and gave up, didn't wait the see the explanation for that. They missed out on a great book.
The narrator is awesome. Her adult voice is great and her child voice, which plays a major role, is absolutely perfect. Although, I wish there was a little difference between Rosie and Izzie.

The ending was very surprising and somewhat satisfying. I was hoping Izzie's mom would find out the truth to avoid future mistakes. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Mistry, and suspense.

BLUE RIBBONS across domains! ‘all have won and all must have prizes’ (paraphrase- L Carrol)

Terrifically presented ever-evolving characters.
Clear, well-paced, unpredictably (and non-annoyingly) twisty plot.
Emotionally gripping and provocative as a reading experience
Persistently Inspiring of further contemplation (mildly annoying-lol)

Convoluted tale

I've enjoyed other books by Lucy Dawson, but this one not so much. To start, I don't find the idea of a "haunted house" very intriguing. The story began well but proceeded at a slow pace. There were many characters--none very likeable. The convoluted resolution was not especially satisfying to me. Overall rating: 2 1/2 stars, generously rounded up

Very Entertaining! Mystery With Hints of Spooky!

(No Spoilers)

I listened to this book in a single day. I enjoyed the mystery and the slightly spooky characters. Nothing is as it seems and will keep you guessing.

The only reason that I can think of that anyone would find the story boring is because it didn't have any graphic sex or bloody violence. Even though there *was* some of both of these mentioned as part of character's history. None of it was described in detail. I appreciated this. There is some cursing but not a lot.

Great read. Give it a go! ~ JTC ~

Twists and Turns!

This novel is amazing, but it is made more so by the astounding talent of the narrator. I could not stop listening. I found myself being freaked out at some points and laughing aloud at others.

A true rollercoaster ride that ended sadly and yet, in some ways,
appropriately.

Totally Unexpected

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting with this story but, what I got wasn't it. I was so angry with the antagonists mother that I kept on shouting at her for her behaviour. This was a very creepy story a out childhood traumas affecting adult lives. Clare Corbett is a lovely narrator. I really enjoyed her performance, particularly her lively Welsh accent :D

Pretty good

I usually finish an audiobook in a day or two and this one took almost a week. it had a slow start, just wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. The last hour really wrapped it up though and that's the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars. I was hoping it would be like her other books and keep me enthralled all the way thru but just didn't happen. Not a bad book but I would rather have spent a little bit of money on it at a bookstore instead of a credit.

Slow beginning but ended up good

Book started off slow but eventually picked up. Such a good book highly recommend
