Echoes of Memory by Sara Driscoll

3.0

Echoes of Memory follows Quinn, who suffers with amnesia after a brutal attack. One night after work, she witnesses a murder and writes down everything she remembers before she forgets. Nervous that someone might know what she witnessed that night, she sets out to find the killer. She has to fight against her own brain and struggle to recover her memories with only her handwritten notes and art sketches to guide her.

I found this one to be pretty slow. I felt like the story was weighed down by way too many details, especially in regard to Quinn’s condition. So much time is spent talking about her condition and how the brain handles memory. There was almost too much medical/scientific information that I ended up zoning it all out. I wanted more time dedicated to the murder and wanted things to move a bit faster. I also didn’t really care for the reveal at the end, but that’s more of a personal issue since I don’t find that sort of “twist” interesting. I really did like Quinn as a character and thought she was insanely strong for working through her condition and searching for the killer. There were some really great moments, and I liked the overall concept of the story. But ultimately, this book was just okay to me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Recorded Books for this ALC.
