2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. YOU CAN PRESERVE A HANDFUL OF SPECIAL MEMORIES FOR EVER. WHICH ONES WOULD YOU CHOOSE? ********** True death is a thing of the past. Now you can spend the rest of eternity re-living your happiest memories: that first kiss, falling in love, the birth of your children, enjoyed on loop for ever and ever. Isobel is a Heaven Architect, and she helps dying people create afterlives from these memories. So when she falls for Jarek, one of her terminal - and married - clients, she knows that while she cannot save him, she can create the most beautiful of heavens, just for him. But when Jarek's wife is found dead, Isobel uncovers a darker side of the world she works within, and she can trust no one with what she finds... The Memory Chamber is a thrilling and original story which vaults the reader into a world that is terrifyingly close to our own, where we can avoid everything we fear - even death itself. But can we ever escape the truth? ********** 'A sensational thriller not to be missed' Fiona Cummins, author of Rattle 'Strikingly original and impossible to put down' John Marrs, author of The One

Could we build our own digital Heaven? Izzy builds Heavens from people's memories, work with complicated legalities - you need permission before someone can feature in your heaven - and intense connections. When a murder is discovered, it triggers a hunt for the killer and questions around privacy, who deserves a Heaven and the technology. Fascinating world building, shady corporations, convoluted characters. Such a predictable ending though!

A concept with so many possibilities...but unfortunately a deeply annoying main character. Idiotic decisions, acting more like a petulant teenager than an adult. A letdown. Rating: 2 🌟

Thanks to Netgalley and publishers, Quercus, for the opportunity to review an ARC.
