Praise for The Memory Foundation: “A locked room mystery with a sci-fi twist; original, claustrophobic and chilling” —Jackie Kabler, USA Today bestselling author of The Revenge Plot and Run for Your Life “Nothing is quite what it seems in this white-knuckle ride of a book about memory and manipulation. Add in a killer twist and an ice-bound, avalanche-prone setting and you've got all the ingredients for an unputdownable thriller.” —Kate Riordan, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Heatwave and Summer Fever “The Memory Foundation is a pacy, chilling thriller, with a twist you won’t see coming and an ending you won’t forget.” —Jo Callaghan, Sunday Times bestselling author of In the Blink of an Eye series “Amanda tries her hand at something different in this speculative thriller set in a frozen landscape - and, boy, does it pay off. The novel explores the idea of what might happen if we could harness, preserve, and relive our memories, and the impact it might have on the world of scientific and medical advancement. Immensely readable, I was sucked straight into this one.” —Fiona Cummins, bestselling author of All of Us are Broken and Some of Us are Liars “A journalist’s burning curiosity about a cure for dementia gets her in too deep. A twisty thriller of obsession and deceit, where the chapters pulse with ever-increasing tension. A chilling and truly gripping tale.” —Jane Bailey, author of Stay and Sorry Isn’t Good Enough “Amanda Reynolds is terrific at capturing characters with broken hearts and broken pasts. The thrill of this novel is not only the propulsive plot and mystery at the heart of the Memory Foundation, but also the secrets that each character keeps. As a reader, we're so desperate to find out, it's impossible to put this book down. In a wild, beautiful, snowy setting, this novel caught me by the throat and kept me awake deep into the night.” —Alice Kuipers, author The Death of Us and Me and Me “The Memory Foundation is a chilling, unsettling and beautifully written thriller. With two narrative strands as unpredictable underfoot as the avalanche-prone setting, this is a gripping, clever novel about memory, control and choice.” —Nicci Cloke, author of Her Many Faces “I loved The Memory Foundation and I raced through it. It was so atmospheric, intriguing and clever. Unputdownable."" —Karen Hamilton, author of The Contest “Obsession and memory drive this compelling and twisty thriller, set in a remote mountainside research facility where people can relive memories from their pasts. As the snow continues to fall, and characters question one another’s motives, the tension ratchets up to eleven. The Memory Foundation is the sort of book you find yourself reaching for in every spare moment until you finally reach the end.” —Andrea Stewart, author of Someone Else's Daughter
