Summary
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.

Very enjoyable but patchy audio.
I really enjoyed this book as the plot was good and easy to follow, but it left you guessing till the end. The characters were interesting and I would like to know more about the other characters in the book.
The only downside for this book was at times the audio would suddenly switch from the normal high quality to a low quality audio. Though it doesn't effect the enjoyability of the book it is noticeable and I feel should not be happening in a audiobook on audible.

Excellent Story well read!
Another excellent character in Amos Decker, looking forward to future tales. David Baldacci never fails to get me gripped in the action!

Good story - keeps you guessing
Good story. Well read and well timed. Would recommend. Only minor complaint is the audio recording sounded like the original recording had lines inserted afterwards; like making an abridged version unabridged by getting narrator to read missing lines. Didn't affect the story.

The Audio and Narration spoil this
The male narrator is more if BBC a reader than a performer. Others would have brought alive but he fails to go this. I could forgive that though. What I cannot forgive is the clunky use or the great Lorelei King to do the female voices. These are cut in so badly that it is clear this was an afterthought. The ambience is different and there is a gap every time the bake narrator picks up the story.
There are also a lot of tonal and sound-level fails, when it is clear the narrator has had a break and restarted. Pretty amateurish treatment for a Baldacci novel I would have thought.
Oh, the story? Actually pretty good.

Formula Fiction
Clever story, but overwritten and could have been delivered equally well in far fewer pages. The ending was predictable with too many ends tied.

Unusual storyline exceptionally well written
I have to be honest that it took me a couple of chapters to get into the story, however once I did I could not stop listening to it. The characters were strong and the investigation was complicated .. just like I wanted!! I can't wait to listen to the rest of this series. Excellent 😁

Not the best Baldacci
Slow slow slow and quiet frankly boring in places. I already worked out 2 big plot lines in the first third of the book. That was disappointing. Hard to like a character with so little personality due to his head injury and consequent gifts/curses. Very hard. It really wasn't a patch on John Puller or Will Robie books sadly .
