Echoes of Memory by Sara Driscoll

4.0

After surviving a terrible attack, Quinn Fleming has lost her ability to retain new memories. She has to rely on a notebook she carries with her at all times. So when she witnesses a murder in the shadowy alley behind the florist shop, Quinn immediately writes down every terrifying detail of the incident before her amnesia wipes it away. By the time the police arrive, there’s no body, no crime scene, and no clues. But somebody else has realized Quinn is a threat that needs to be eliminated. Now, with her life on the line and only her notes to guide her, Quinn sets out to find a killer she doesn’t remember, but can’t forget . . .

I was expecting this to be a popcorn thriller, but it turned out to be more of a crime fiction. I wasn’t disappointed, though. In fact, I found this to be truly riveting. I loved seeing the various tricks Quinn employed to remind herself of important details that she knew she wouldn’t remember the next day.

The plot was gripping, and I didn’t guess the whoddunit right till the reveal. Quinn’s self explorations, including the way she had to discover herself again every day was so interesting to follow. This book would make a great movie, if adapted well. The audiobook narration was great, with on-point pacing and tone. I’d recommend this to all crime fiction fans!
