Publisher's 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.

Memroy Man
Would you listen to Memory Man again? Why?
Yes, the character is different from many crime and fiction, shows many positive traits and the story gets you in and keeps you interested till the end.
What did you like best about this story?
It covers a wide range of topics, from life to medical trauma and whilst showing there are bad people in the world, shows there are also good and they will help others, a simplistic view perhaps, but an engaging read.
Which character – as performed by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy – was your favourite?
Definitely, Amos Decker is not only the ,main character, but the most interesting and enjoyable.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
That is not possible in my job, it was listened to as audio of course.
Any additional comments?
It did at times require some concentration and this is the one issue with listening to audio books whilst driving, but as long as you can "read" as the secondary aim, audio books are good to keep the mind active and to reduce fatigue issues on boring roads.

A great listen
I enjoyed this story, the narration work was good for the most part but it does not flow as it should in several parts. I still would highly recommend this audio book.

Hate the narrator, great narrative.
I struggled to concentrate as the narrators voice keeps changing and I couldn't differentiate the characters. The story was great and a great thriller.

Comfortable to rags and back again.
The male narrator has a pleasant voice. The word pictures that he paints keeps the reader engaged. The introduction of the two female voices are not token. They mark two different stages in the pursuit of truth. The background effects while unexpected are not intrusive. The story covers quite a period of time as reflected by appearance of technology towards the end of the tome. I found the story gripping and a good way to pass quite a hours.

Far fetched however it did grab my attention
I was so hooked with the story until the last few chapters. I feel the connection between the killer(s) and Amos was far fetched and unbelievable. But for more than 10 hours it did have me hooked. I think I will try one more book in this series and hope the second one is more belieable not so forced.

Held my attention
As crime stories go, this was a good one. First I've read by this author, and he certainly has the knack. I'm not keen on graphic violence, and he pushed me to my boundaries. But I did enjoy the read - it was a page turner.

Loved it!
This was my first Baldacci. Hooked from the start - always finding excuses to listen. Ami’s Decker is an amazing character. But the production on the recoding was terrible- fluctuating sound levels and the random use of music didn’t do such a great story justice!
