THE MEMORY by Lucy Dawson
I look down at her, lying fast asleep – always my little girl, and so beautiful. She gives a low moan as her head turns restlessly on the pillow. It reminds me of the soft growl of a cornered animal. Where is my poor child? What is she dreaming?
People always notice my daughter, Isobel. How could they not? Incredibly beautiful... until she speaks.
An unsettling, little-girl voice, exactly like a child’s, but from the mouth of a full-grown woman.
Izzie might look grown-up, but inside she’s trapped. Caught in the day it happened – the day that broke her from within.
I know why my daughter is the way she is. There’s nothing I could have done to save her... is there?
An unputdownable psychological thriller about families and secrets, perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Shalini Boland and Lisa Jewell.

My Review
What a book! The Memory is everything I had hoped it would be and more. I was gripped from the start reading in a page-turning frenzy to get to the concluding pages. Lucy Dawson really knows how to weave a web of wonder with spine tingling moments that turned my blood ice cold and where I found myself reading that little bit further under the duvet for safe keeping. I won't delve into any kind of descriptions regarding the plot as I don't want to give away any hints or spoilers but the blurb explains everything you need to know before diving into this thrilling story.
The characters created in this book are vivid and real and each play their part extremely well, pulling you into the storyline one chapter at a time. The mysteriously beautiful Isobel is by far the shining glory of the piece and her character took me on a rollercoaster of emotions from frustration to empathy and straight through to tears creating an emotional journey through the book which I loved every minute of.
If you're looking for something that captivates you from the start, that pulls you in and doesn't let go then look no further than The Memory. I absolutely loved everything about this hair-raising book and couldn't recommend it more.

About me by Lucy Dawson:
I’ve been writing psychological suspense novels since 2008, when my first bestseller – His Other Lover – was published. I write full time (mostly on the playroom sofa) from my home in Devon, where I live with my husband and children. Before that, I used to edit a magazine for six to twelve year old girls for a living, making absolutely no use whatsoever of my psychology degree from Warwick University, but it was a lot of fun.
I'm addicted to writing about the extraordinary things that can happen to ordinary people - stories that jump in at the deep end, with a gasp. When readers take the time out to let me know they've stayed up all night because they couldn't put the book down, it makes my day.
I really enjoy catching up with readers and always reply to emails. You can reach me atlucy@lucydawsonbooks.com. I’m also on Twitter @lucydawsonbooks and have a Facebook page at lucydawsonbooks. Alternatively you can download a free short story of mine at www.lucydawsonbooks.com or if you want to look at a lot of pictures of the beach and books that I'm reading, find me on Instagram at lucydawsonbooks.
