The Memory Box

-
Caroline Thompson is living a happy life in the suburbs with her husband and their two daughters. The suburban moms there entertain themselves by Googling everyone in town and then spreading gossip, but Caroline tries to avoid these women and she's relieved to be told that her name only appears three times - all about her philanthropy. 

Caroline can't stand not to Google her maiden name, though - a name no one in the suburbs knows. By doing this she finds her sister's obituary - she's been dead for years but Caroline doesn't remember it happening. The more she finds out, the more her life unravels and spins out of control.

I loved the author's writing. It's always fun to get caught up in a book where I can't turn the pages fast enough - which happened from the very beginning. I really liked the character Caroline. Great ending too.

DCI Erika Foster is called to a murder scene where the victim is found dead in bed with a plastic bag over his head. As DCI Foster and her team are looking for clues as to who could have committed the murder, another victim is found dead in bed with a plastic bag over his head. All they know at this point is that there is a calculated serial killer out there stalking the victims before going in for the kill. What could possibly link the victims to their killer? DCI Foster will do whatever it takes to find out. Another great book in the DCI Erika Foster series! It's well-written. It's descriptive, it's vivid, it's a page-turner. It has strong characters, great pacing. I can't say enough good things.

He blames himself but he's not the only one - Mars's father, who is also a judge, is pushing for a criminal investigation into Carver's actions. But Carver's not alone. He has supportive parents and a supportive older sister. He's become close with Eli's girlfriend Jesmyn. And Nana Betsy, Blake's grandma, is on his side. Nana Betsy suggests they spend a day together sharing their memories of Blake and to say a proper goodbye. The other families want Carver to spend a day with them as well, sharing a side of their son they never knew, but he's not sure it's a good idea especially when Mars's father tells him he wants to
