Dead Memories
Dead Memories: An addictive and gripping crime thriller | Angela Marsons
17 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
She ruined their lives. Now theyre going to destroy hers. Someone is recreating every traumatic point in your life. They are doing this to make you suffer, to make you hurt and the only possible end game can be death. Your death. On the fourth floor of Chaucer House, two teenagers are found chained to a radiator. The boy is dead but the girl is alive. For Detective Kim Stone every detail of the scene mirrors her own terrifying experience with her brother Mikey, when they lived in the same tower block thirty years ago. When the bodies of a middle-aged couple are discovered in a burnt-out car, Kim cant ignore the chilling similarity to the deaths of Erica and Keith the only loving parents Kim had ever known. Faced with a killer who is recreating traumatic events from her past, Kim must face the brutal truth that someone wants to hurt her in the worst way possible. Desperate to stay on the case, she is forced to work with profiler Alison Lowe who has been called in to observe and monitor Kims behaviour. Kim has spent years catching dangerous criminals and protecting the innocent. But with a killer firmly fixed on destroying Kim, can she solve this complex case and save her own life or will she become the final victim? The heart-stopping and totally addictive new crime thriller from multi-million copy number one bestseller Angela Marsons will have you completely hooked. Read what everyone is saying about the Detective Kim Stone series: Marsons for me is the QUEEN of this genre. She knows how to add the human touch to each story and I just adore her. Bloody FABULOUS. Postcard Reviews 'I absolutely loved it! one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson!' Fiona's Book Reviews WOW! Did I just read what I thought I read? I felt totally gut-punched when I finished. Came back to it a day later and re-read the entire book again just to make sure I had read it correctly the first time. Had the stuffing knocked out of me all over again Totally in awe. Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars It's Angela Marsons, so five stars, 'nuff said Gripping, intriguing, thrilling, addictive, fantastic emotional and heart-breaking I finished this late, sobbing my heart out Read this book. Just do it One of the very best detective series around. Deja Read, 5 stars I truly don't know what to say Somehow Angela Marsons manages smash the brilliantness of the last book and better it tenfold A first-class read that I feel will be difficult to top... This has certainly gone onto my 2018 MUST READ list. ILoveReadinguk, 5 stars

Sunday bliss! 😍 Spending the morning with Kim Stone and the rest of her team... Who knows; I might actually catch up with this series before the end of the year!

TrishB I‘m up to date with this series! Looking forward to the new one in a couple of weeks. 3y
yvo_about_books @TrishB I was hoping to catch up before book 15 was published, but I guess that won't be happening haha. Looking forward to read the pending books before the end of 2021 though... Such a great series! 3y

#bookreport
Been a can‘t concentrate, just want serial killer books kind of week.
Finished Book of Bones ✅
Finished The Stranger Diaries ✅ new author/series for me.
Reading tagged one now.

squirrelbrain Not long now...only a few more days to go! 😘 4y
Cinfhen What does that say about my dear friend... serial killers are her comfort reads xxxxxxx 4y
TrishB @squirrelbrain this week will be the longest in living memory 😁 4y
TrishB @Cinfhen 😂😂 I‘ve decided it‘s the formulaic plot lines. Killings, detectives, clues, murderer(s) found and caught. A few twists and turns but bad people eliminated . It‘s like there is always a solution and reassurance. Unlike life at the moment. 4y
Cinfhen Ok, I‘ll accept that answer 💜 4y

It seems my brain only wants detective/serial killer books 🤷‍♀️

Cathythoughts Whatever works .... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I love this genre !! I‘ve had a slow week for reading , concentration gone again 🙄 4y
TrishB @Cathythoughts me too Cathy. Brain is worn out I think. 4y
squirrelbrain These books are so good for distraction though aren‘t they? Be careful, you‘re nearly caught up.... Have you read the prequel yet though? I read it when it was published, which was about now in the series I think... 4y

JennyM Whatever your brain needs. Sending lots of love xxx (edited) 4y
charl08 Makes complete sense. Hope you're getting a good break from the office for Xmas. 4y
TrishB @squirrelbrain I haven‘t done the prequel yet. Does it fit now? 4y
TrishB @JennyM exactly ❤️😘 4y
TrishB @charl08 finish on Friday until 5 Jan. I can‘t wait! 4y
squirrelbrain It was published a year ago - after book 12. So not far to go before you can read it, although there‘s no spoilers that I can recall anyway. 4y
MicheleinPhilly Pretty much the same boat. Only 4 more days to go! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 4y
TrishB @MicheleinPhilly it‘s getting me through each day! 4y
Caroline2 My brain is mush! Cases are soaring where I am so I may keep the kids off school now. 😬 I‘m reading lots of Victorian gothic type books at the mo for some reason?!?! 🤷‍♀️ 4y
TrishB @Caroline2 I saw that cases were raising rapidly in your area. It‘s so worrying isn‘t it. The mass testing seems to have really helped here. We‘ve gone from 800+ to less than 100 per 100000, just hope people don‘t get careless coming up to Christmas. 4y
Caroline2 @TrishB Yes!! The Christmas thing is a worry isn‘t it. I‘m happy to stay at home but my husband‘s family are all having big gatherings regardless?! 🙄 we‘ve had big rows over it but no way I‘m going. His brother has had COVID so they‘re inviting everyone round!! It‘s after the whole 2wk isolation thing but sorry! No way I‘m going in a COVID home!!!! 😱 4y
TrishB @Caroline2 you have to do what makes you and the boys feel safe. We‘re not mixing on mass with anyone, but most people we know are testing every 5 days at the moment, so it‘s also a lot easier to feel safe. 4y
Caroline2 Yes! They‘re starting mass testing here from next week so hopefully that‘ll help. 🤞 4y
MicheleinPhilly @Caroline2 If you want to back up your arguments with evidence, just point them to the current numbers in the U.S. 3,000 Americans dying each day because people held Thanksgiving gatherings 2 weeks ago. Many hospitals at total capacity. 4y
Caroline2 @MicheleinPhilly Exactly! It‘s not the time for big family gatherings if you ask me. 4y

My Matty isn‘t feeling great and had a negative Covid test this morning. His pediatrician isn‘t messing around and I‘m thankful for her. She said lots of cuddling and fluids. I haven‘t had much reading time but since he‘s napping I‘m going to take advantage! 😀

britt_brooke Sweet baby. Hope he feels better soon! 4y

Enjoying some time alone after talking with some family and having to make the tough decision of canceling 2 family Christmas get togethers.... I‘m in need of a Kim Stone book to make things a little better!

Cathythoughts I hope the book helps !! It will be a different Christmas... but it will be good too 4y
TrishB Enjoy, these are tough times certainly. But we‘re doing to keep people safe and healthy ❤️ 4y
eanderson @Cathythoughts @TrishB I agree! It stinks but at the end of the day we are keeping others safe and healthy. Different year and we can make the most of it! 🤗 4y

Suspenseful, eerie, and masterfully plotted, as is usual for this series, but for the first time, it felt a bit forced and a touch farfetched. Still a great story! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This series of books gets better and better. A brilliant police procedural book. Someone is committing crimes that means there is nowhere for Kim to hide. Her past is being played out in front of her eyes. The author captures the team spirit and this come through the whole book. There is a humour in the team. Brilliant already excited about the next book
