The Memory Box

ebook

NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A psychological thriller with twists & turns until the last page.

WHAT IF YOU GOOGLED YOURSELF AND DISCOVERED SOMETHING SHOCKING?

In this gripping page-turner suspense, Caroline Thompson Googles herself and discovers the shocking details of a past she doesn't remember.

HOUSTON WRITERS GUILD Manuscript AWARD WINNER

In this best seller suspense thriller, a group of privileged suburban moms amuse themselves by Googling everyone in town, digging up dirt to fuel thorny gossip. Caroline Thompson, devoted mother of two, sticks to the moral high ground and attempts to avoid these women. She's relieved to hear her name appears only three times, citing her philanthropy. Despite being grateful that she has nothing to hide, a delayed pang of insecurity prods Caroline to Google her maiden name—which none of the others know.

The hits cascade like a tsunami. Caroline's terrified by what she reads. An obituary for her twin sister, JD? That's absurd. With every click, the revelations grow more alarming. They can't be right. She'd know. Caroline is hurled into a state of paranoia—upending her blissful family life and marriage—desperate to prove these allegations false before someone discovers they're true.

The disturbing underpinnings of The Memory Box expose a story of deceit, misconceptions, and an obsession for control. With its twists, taut pacing, and psychological tenor, Natiello's page turning suspense cautions: Be careful what you search for.

Praise for The Memory Box

"5-STARS" — San Francisco Book Review

"...be prepared to toss that suburban fairy tale away, grab on to the steering wheel, and hope that you get through this obstacle course with all your mental faculties... Eva Lesko Natiello shows tremendous talent and courage in her creation of a powerful dichotomy, reaching beyond boundaries." — San Francisco Book Review

". . . this one comes along and tears to shreds everything you thought you knew about the genre . . . and just when you think the book may have hit the limits of its genre, another sinister twist pushes it into serious Gone Girl territory." —Bustle

"The Memory Box is a literary rarity—a story of high imagination cast with characters who seem as authentic as they are complex. From the moment Caroline Thompson dares to Google her own name, the stakes and suspense develop, treating the reader to a "can't put it down" mystery."
—Sidney Offit, author of Memoir of a Bookie's Son

"Epically creepy. . .creepier than Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl. After the last word, I had to take a deep breath, and think of cute, comforting things, like kittens and baby hedgehogs to stop the chills running through me." —Sally Allen, Hamlethub

"The Memory Box left me feeling stunned . . ." —onlinebookclub.org

"Could not put this book down." —Jessica Collins, Books, Ink's

"In her impressive first novel, The Memory Box, Eva Lesko Natiello tells the fascinating story of a woman whose memories piece together a self-portrait she doesn't recognize—until those memories yield to the terrible secrets they conceal."
—John Biguenet, author of The Torturer's Apprentice and Oyster
