Summary
This 'impossible to put down' #1 New York Times bestseller introduces Amos Decker, a gifted police detective with a perfect memory who must solve a mystery he wishes he could forget: his family's murder (Washington Post).

Amos Decker's life changed forever--twice.

The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to play in the NFL. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field forever, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can forget nothing.

The second time was at home nearly two decades later. Now a police detective, Decker returned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare--his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered.

His family destroyed, their killer's identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single detail from that horrible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can.

But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to learn what really happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Memory Man will stay with you long after the turn of the final page.

I will not read another book by David Baldacci. I read non-fiction for entertainment, not to be lectured on political correctness.

Profile Avatar Todd N. Feb 2023

Decent book, good entertainment, good plot. Okay narrators, just under invested in the dialogue seemed to me.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2025

Pretty unlikely and woke driven. Writing style is good but plot suffers for the last few chapters.

Profile Avatar Anthony D. Feb 2024

Plot was good, a little far fetched. Narration was average, could have been better.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

Very good, kept me wondering

Profile Avatar William L. Feb 2023

Not the author’s best. A very short story with a very long epilogue.

Profile Avatar William B. Dec 2022

Have read and enjoyed other Baldacci series. This was my intro to a new character and story. Really liked it. Intend to listen to the more Amos Decker adventures. Baldacci is a great writer.

It was a good story.

Profile Avatar Vincent G. Jun 2021

Excellent story up to the final connection between Decker and the killer. Seemed contrived.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2021

Moving on to others in the series.

Great story telling!!

Profile Avatar Teri D. Oct 2019

Entertaining read. Enjoyed the book. Narration had odd, distracting edits.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2019

Excellent story... well written and different from anything I’ve listened to in a while. However, the switch from male to female narrator, and the cut and paste of a second males voice every once in a while for 1-2 lines made it feel choppy at parts.

Profile Avatar John C. Apr 2019

it was a good book I bet long and some places but kept me interested

Profile Avatar Karen W. Feb 2019

Reasonable well written, this book relied too heavily on odd and increasingly outlandish character quirks and psychological anomalies. There was a point where it was just eye-rolling. Nonetheless, the plot was not predictable and in that sense kept the reader engaged. All in all, there are better mysteries out there.

Profile Avatar Geoffrey H. Jul 2018

Poorly contrived. Stupid.

Profile Avatar Jan W. Jun 2018

Baldacci is a wonderful author and as usual this novel did not disappoint. Highly recommend this book.

Profile Avatar Brenda Shaw Jul 2016

I very much enjoyed this story. The ending made me want more. I didn't care for the male narrator. It sounded like his mouth was very dry and sometimes for some reason his words sounded a bit slurred. Or maybe that was my thoughts and the wine! Lol! I thought the female was very good. Did a good job of distinguishing between characters.

Profile Avatar June Brown Jun 2016

Really liked this one and you probably will too if you're a Baldacci fan. I love that the "hero" is a flawed human being who has experienced more than his share of hard knocks. I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series, and hope for many more.

Profile Avatar ed enos Mar 2016

Good book in typical Baldacci fashion..... A little convoluted and predictable... McClarty and Cassidy are great readers!

Profile Avatar Patricia Hoover Jul 2015

I can always count on David Balducci to spin a good yarn. I love the way he turns of phrase and draws a picture with words. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Profile Avatar Gwendolyn Gaither Jul 2015

Great book! Hard to put down. Loves the suspense and mystery.

Profile Avatar Angela Tate Jul 2015

I enjoyed this book. It kept my attention the entire time. It took me just a bit to get used to the female voice for some reason.

Profile Avatar Albert Gerber Jun 2015

Just my kind of story. Adventure, mystery, and science fiction.
