Years ago, Autumn Carpenter felt compassionate and wise for placing her infant with a nice couple through adoption. Regardless of time and distance, Autumn’s motherly connection and curiosity for her daughter’s welfare have never waned. Imagine her surprise to see current images of her estranged child posted on social media. Autumn becomes obsessed with the McMullen family and decides to follow their every move both on and off the internet. She will do anything to continue to witness her daughter’s happy life. As Autumn becomes ever more daring in her efforts to stay close . . . keeping all of this secret and under the radar becomes increasingly desperate and difficult. She gave her up once and can’t bear it again.
Despite having aspects that are outlandish and hard to swallow, I could not stop flipping these pages with urgency. Overall, I found this book to be an entertaining read . . . worthy of staying up way past my bedtime. I want more and sincerely hope that there will be updates on these characters in a sequel soon.
I recommend this novel to fans of Minka Kent and those who like mysteries, crime fiction, and suspenseful domestic drama.
I thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of The Memory Watcher for my unbiased evaluation. 4 stars
