Don't Forget Me

A Thriller

De: Rea Frey

Narrado por: Rachel L. Jacobs

When a body is presumed to be her missing husband’s, a woman must unravel the secrets of her own past to clear her name, find the truth, and put her conscience to rest once and for all.

All Ruby wanted was a fresh start. But after an early retirement and a relocation to a tight-knit community with her husband, Tom, and her daughter, Lily, her new beginning takes a turn.

First her troubled daughter and then her husband disappear without a trace. Unsure how to cope, grief-ridden Ruby turns to her neighborhood friends to find a way forward with new hobbies, including a murder club where they try to solve cold cases.

But just as unexpectedly as her family vanished, a body floats to the surface of the nearby lake.

And everyone is sure the body belongs to Tom…everyone except Ruby.

Determined to find out what happened to her family once and for all, Ruby digs into her neighbors’ lives, and her own, only to uncover secrets that raise more questions than they answer. And the biggest question of all—why doesn’t she recognize the body?

Keeps you guessing!

Keeps you engaged the whole time. Several twists you won’t see coming. Excellent performance made this a very enjoyable listening experience!

An unanticipated twist... the best kind!

Whoa! I did NOT see that ending coming! I just knew that I knew who the killer was until I didn't. The storyline flips back and forth from Then and Now, all from Ruby's perspective. You'll start to get a sense of what happened in the past as you work to figure out what's going on in the present, but you may not be prepared for the grand reveal.

Omg…get on with it already!

Like others who have commented, I tried to give us a chance, but after umpteen hours, and still three left, I just had to quit.

Pretty predictable, too much reputation - we get it - the protagonist has a past…

Narrator pretty good!

You will never guess who did it until it’s right there

The story moves from the past to the present but keeps you completely enthralled. The twists and turns are great and you don’t see the killer until they are revealed.

Unpredictable twists!

A hidden past, an abusive relationship, a missing daughter and a husband who she’s glad to be rid of make for an intriguing story. But who is the murderer?

more than you think

grasping from the start. a real "who dun it" with an irreplaceable ending. 5 stars

Soooo slow.

I’m trying to hang with this. I’m interested in the story, and I liked the narrator at the start, but I’m halfway in and there are still 5 hours to go. I looked at reviews for people who read the book themselves and so many mentioned how it was such a fast, quick read and they breezed through it — but this woman is reading so slow it’s over 10 hours of audio. She also has a tendency of whispering at the end of sentences and it’s becoming more and more noticeable. We’ll see if I finish it.

I was emotionally wrecked by this book, but it had a shocking ending I guess

The only reason I kept listening to this book was because of the narrator! I swear to God, majority of the time I kept thinking it was more than one person!!! I don’t know how Rachael L Jacobs did it, I really don’t, but she was the only reason I kept listening to the book!!

Now if I was going to explain why I was emotionally wrecked by the book it would be a bit of a spoiler. So all I’ll say is that there’s some unnecessary deaths, and an ending that really should be lead to sequel!!!

I Will Forget This Book

The book was good until the Community Forum. That was such an unnecessary addition and made the story immature. The title didn’t really seem to match the plot. I was unimpressed. I will say that the narrator was excellent. Honestly glad I finished it.

Good story, but honestly not for me

Way too psychological for me. But I’m not going to give the book a low stars. Just my preference
