FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
The Memory Bell by Kat Flannery was an interesting book but not my favorite that I have read lately. This book is a slow starter, so you need to give it a few chapters before you give up on the book. I didn’t think that this book was super suspenseful, but it did have enough that kept me reading until I finished the book. I know part of the reason that I had a hard time reading this book is that I didn’t connect with any of the characters in this story. The only character that I have any feelings about would be Grace. She always got on my nerves because of the choices that she kept making. The author did a great job of making the family drama come to life as I was reading. I love when authors are able to make their characters seem like they are real-life people. I figured out who the killer was pretty early into the book, which is why I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book. If you love books in this genre but don’t like when they are super suspenseful, then this book will be a great match for you.

Will Grace be able to save the family she loves more than anything without losing herself forever?
Praise for The Memory Bell:
“A naïve small-town girl and a disillusioned big-city cop, drawn together by an unsolved crime that is itself only the tip of the iceberg, The Memory Bell serves up the perfect steamy summer read.”
–Jenny Jaeckel, author of House of Rougeaux“The story moves beyond a small town whodunit to probe the underlying bonds of history that connect a family.”
-Midwest Book Review“Wonderful, engaging, and fast-paced! Flannery knows what she’s doing!”
-Jonas Saul, author of the Sarah Roberts series
