-From Goodreads- Julianna Burke, bestselling mystery novelist, has a secret that those closest to her are hiding from the world. Julianna is losing her memory, and with it her powerful gift for storytelling that propelled her to fame. A further devastating blow comes when Connor, Julianna’s beloved husband, is murdered. Even this is not something Julianna’s mind can hold on to, and every day her assistant has to break the heart-wrenching news all over again. Julianna is desperate to know what happened to her husband. As she battles her failing mind to investigate, a detail of the murder surfaces that makes Julianna question everything she’s ever known. Somehow she must fight to find the truth, even though her grip on reality is fading… ASIN: B08CLXMG8W A man killed. A woman's sanity questioned... I'm still reeling from this one. Murder, Forgotten started off so quietly. Just a lady staying at her vacation house trying to rest as as she can't seem to remember from day to day that her husband is dead. And just her adult daughter trying to come to grips with her stepfather's death and her mother's mental decline. | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
Depending on how you feel about the subjects, the following content may be an issue for you. Some language. The characters all drink like fish and more than one get sloshed. And there is some open discussion, not graphic, of cheating and sexual affairs between several characters.
Of the two books that I've read by Deb Richardson-Moore Murder, Forgotten is by far my favorite. Despite the, in my opinion, rather excessive alcohol consumption I enjoyed the book quite a bit. The psychological elements, the complete questioning of whether a main character might actually be the killer, was very very good. I also loved the generational aspects to the story with both mother and daughter trying to solve the mystery. Oh, and it's worth reading this book just for the exquisite setting, South Carolina's Sullivan's Island, alone.
