Publisher's summary

Twenty-five years ago Katie ran away from home and never came back. But now she's suddenly reappeared in her best friend Olivia's life - in the form of a chilling confession. Olivia's father-in-law, wracked with guilt, says he murdered her all those years ago. Tom suffers from Alzheimer's and his story is riddled with error and confusion. Except for one terrifying certainty: he knows where the body is buried.

As Olivia and the police piece together the evidence, they are left with one critical question. They have a crime, they have a confession, and now they have a body - but can any of it be trusted?

Wow! What a great read/listen!

This book was one I will definitely recommend, well developed characters, a story that wraps you up in it, and so many twists and turns...just when you think you gave it figured out...BAM...another surprise! I didn't see the end coming at all, love this type of book!!!

A Very Good Mystery!

This is a real mystery--kept from listeners until the final 20 minutes of the book! Hurray! That makes this one a winner despite a few little shortcomings. The main character gets her knickers in a twist over and over as she makes assumptions that are gradually proven false. Not the brightest bulb in the box as female characters go, but that's a small complaint. This is a complex plot with wonderful twists and turns and truly excellent narration. Well worth the time and credit.

Original plot

I wouldn't ordinarily give such a high rating to a book that annoyed me so much, but this one does have redeeming qualities. Lots of twists and kept moving along really well - every time I thought the story was detouring into some unnecessary verbiage, something actually did come out of it. And the reader did a great job of portraying the drama queen protagonist, whom I particularly disliked. I probably could have rated it higher, even, if I hadn't resented the author's portrayal of the two female protagonists as so stupid and/or irrational. I mean really, the two little girls seemed more emotionally mature than the mothers. Being female myself, I'd rather the females were portrayed in a more positive manner. But at least the real killer wasn't exposed until the end, and I didn't guess it earlier, and I do like that about a mystery.

Great story, told too slowly

I really loved the plot of this book, it's what hooked me in the first place, but I really felt like there was too much time wasted on insignificant details. That's not to say that I struggled to get through it, but I wish I didn't have to spend as much time on the book to get to a conclusion that could've been reached much sooner. Overall, it wasn't a bad read.

Didn't see that coming!

Really enjoyed this one. Thought I had it all figured out and then it turned into another direction. Left me scratching my head. The narrator nailed all the characters which added to my 5 stars. If you want a great story that keeps you guessing then this is the one. Definitely worth the money or credit. 😀😀😀

Great Twist, Insufferable Lead

Would you try another book from Sibel Hodge and/or Anna Parker-Naples?

Yes, I would try another book from Sibel Hodge, see if she can create a less annoying, self-righteous main character

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes it was a compelling mystery.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anna Parker-Naples?

I don't know enough audio performers to know.

Do you think Where the Memories Lie needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, not at all. The main character is so insufferable and holier than thou, I wouldn't want to know any more about her or to hear her story further.

Loved it

Loved the plot, suspense and narration. Sibel Hodge has become one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed all of her books that I read so far. Her writing style reminds me of Tes Garretson.

I will keep looking for more of Sibel Hodge's books.
