Suspenseful murder-mystery with an amnesia twist!

If you had the chance to wipe the slate clean on your failed relationship and start again, would you? Austin Romero returns to his hometown of Blue Creek, New Hampshire to establish another Stonewall Investigations office. He quickly runs into Charlie Marsh, his first love and his first heartbreak, only Charlie has changed. Having acquired retrograde amnesia in mysterious circumstances, Charlie has lost about 7 years of memory and can’t even remember Austin, let alone the hurtful way they broke up. Austin is more than willing to start over and offers to look into the mystery that is Charlie’s “accident”, a decision they’ll both come to regret when it puts them in grave danger.

I’ve enjoyed the original and spin-off Stonewall series, so I was pretty sure I’d like this one too. The amnesia trope and the chemistry between Austin and Charlie are well done, I especially enjoyed the unfolding memories and backstories. The multiple murder investigation had some nice suspenseful moments, although we pretty much knew who the murderer was from the get-go and it was just a matter of time before they made their move. 🎧 US veteran voice actor Greg Boudreaux is consistent good, although I felt Austin’s Spanish inflection came and went a bit (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)!
