Memory of Murder

I really enjoyed reading this thriller, the story was intriguing and kept my attention the whole way through I couldn't wait to find out how it unraveled. A great book

This my first time reading this author. And despite some of the reviews I really enjoyed the book and plan on going back and reading the first three in the series. Well done.

It's interesting what our memory does to shield us from suffering and from shock. Lisa was 3 years old when she saw her mother dead and probably her murderer, but she does remember much. After she hired a PI to find the culprit, learning a few nuggets about what may have happened she starts remembering a few things and those things help to unravel the past. Tracey, the PI, also has to face her own demons, she lost her parents early in life and is afraid of relationships because she does not want the feeling of being left alone again. Was Lisa's father the real assassin? Who was her murder? How about her brother? The more Tracey looks into the past of the murdered woman, the more possible culprits arise and more difficult information to relay to her daughter.
A well-written and put-together story got my attention from the beginning, was easy to read, and very entertaining!
I downloaded a free copy of this book through NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Im a sucker for "who dunnit" mystery thrillers and this book definitely delivers! I had no idea what was coming and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughouout.

This novel is full of multiple characters, delicious food, and a murder mystery.

Rating: 4.5 ⭐️

""He was the best father in the world and he was gone in an instant right before my eyes." "Did you feel abandoned by him?" "Why would I feel that way? It wasn't his fault," I said, though I knew there was some truth to what she said, as my eyes started to water.""
"It's not that I don't know that I'm afraid to get close to someone because I'm afraid they'll die."

I was entranced by this book and couldn't even put it down to exercise. I loved the main character's personality and ended up relating to her through the passing of her father and her inner-feelings regarding commitment. I'm also a huge foodie and loved the aspect that she went to the same restaurants all the time. I'm a creature of habit so I enjoyed the routine and simple life she led by going to the same restaurants, drinking wine regularly, and using the same route to run on. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and would read more from this author. 🕵🏻🖤🔪

My sincerest thanks to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and Ellen Shapiro for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

An enjoyable read. Tracey the private investigator delves into a cold case from 20 years ago. Its a relaxing read with not too many characters but alongside the investigation we have a few other stories going on connected with her love live, her friends and also her amazing visits to cafe's/deli's/restaurants and some of the food sounds wonderful . I will look for this author again.

Oh this was really interesting and a really fun read. More on the darker ends at the end but it was super enjoyable at the end nonetheless and I had a lot of fun!

Memory of murder by Ellen Shapiro.
Lisa Kane was three years old when her mother was murdered. On the night of the murder, Lisa was awakened by a loud noise. Whatever she witnessed at the time, the trauma from that night erased most of her memories. The primary suspect was Lisa’s father, Jason Kane, but he was never arrested since he had an airtight alibi.
Really good read with good characters. Kept me gripped. 4*.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with this arc!

I thought it was very well thought out and written excellently would read another by this author!

This book is much like a book by this author with a different series. The names and places are changed but the friendships and boyfriend is very similar. But I enjoyed the book. I didn't try to figure out who did it. I let the story play out. I like how this author has a surprise twist at the end. Enjoyed the book.
