"Another excellent story with the Memory Man; Amos Decker and his partner Alex Jamison. They take a "vacation" to Baronville, PA to visit Alex's sister Amber for her niece's (Zoe) 6th birthday, when they get involved with a murder investigation of two bodies found in the house behind Amber's. This leads to many more dead bodies and a conspiracy involving the whole town and a drug ring."

"I liked it, didn't love it. I just jumped over from reading Reacher Novels for years. Don't really know how I feel about Amos Decker, I will need to read more of him to get a more knowledgable opinion. "

"Despite not reading any of the previous Memory Man book, I couldn’t put this down. I found myself saying “one more chapter” multiple times a night bc I was so into the book. Made me want to read the other Memory Man books!"
