About this listen

The Memory Game is a haunting psychological thriller from the top-ten best-selling author Nicci French.

You remember an idyllic childhood. But your memory is deceitful. And possibly deadly...

When a skeleton is unearthed in the Martellos' garden, Jane Martello is shocked to learn it's that of her childhood friend Natalie, who went missing 25 years ago.

Encouraged by a therapist to recover lost memories, Jane hopes to find out what really took place when she was a child - and what happened to Natalie. But in learning the truth about her and Natalie's past, is Jane putting her own future at terrible risk?

Editorial reviews

The Memory Game, written by Nicci French is a chilling psychological thriller audiobook narrated by English actress Harriet Walter. At once a mystery but also a fascinating example of attempting to recover those early childhood memories people can never recall in adulthood. Two little girls always play in their garden until one goes mysteriously missing. Her body is not discovered until 25 years later, buried in the same garden. It is a dangerous task to unravel the mystery of who killed the girl. Available now from Audible.

I lasted until chapter 23.
described as a "psychological Thriller", I was expecting an exciting read.
What I seemed to be reading were the ins & outs of a blended family - in minute detail . I found it quite dull and sadly lost interest.
I am very disappointed, as I adored the Frieda Klein series!!

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It was too long winded and boring details described in minute detail made me speed up the recording to get to the end!
Don’t bother!

Tedious and long winded
