About this listen

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.

Audio Recording, meh...

Loved the story.
I didn't enjoy the noticeable overdubs, they were distracting.
There were a few words that were mispronounced.

Love the narration

I could listen to Ron McLarty read the phone book. So it’s a bonus he’s reading a good story!

A READ to keep u glued to to ur headphones.

Loved the story and the ever riveting build up to the unveiling of the perpetrators and then the trail to their demise. Nicely written keeps u in suspense till the right time.

Loved the characters throughout!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series. It had such a great story and characters were relatable. I love Amos Decker's character the most. His special talents were refreshing and interesting. The narration was good and I will be purchasing the next book in the series for sure! I you are a fan of this genre, I don't think you will be disappointed purchasing this book!

Great book

There is other reviews about how the voice actor is not consistent, I thought all of them did a great job . This book takes a lot of turns like a roller coaster so hang on!

Performance was terrible and distracting.

I'm working hard to get through this audio book because the reader's voice is difficult to listen to. It sounds like he's struggling to move his mouth, to enunciate his words, and even to get enough breath. Does he need to clear his throat? Have some water? I want to finish the story but this horrible narration is completely distracting, and I will now listen to the sample before any future audiobook purchases. Boo.
