Praise for The Memory Foundation:
“West’s debut is a thriller that plays with the ways the protagonists remember their lives. She builds tension and paranoia before ratcheting up to a gripping climax . . . A great book for fans of Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter or Sarah Gailey’s The Echo Wife.”
—Booklist
“The questions at the heart of Amanda West’s gripping thriller The Memory Foundation are unnerving and profound: who are we without our memories? And what if memory became a tool for manipulation and control? . . . A smart and beautifully written page-turner.”
—Tara Conklin, New York Times bestselling author
“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 . . . 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 . . . Immensely readable.”
—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 West is terrific at capturing characters with broken hearts and broken pasts. The thrill of this novel is not only the propulsive plot and mystery . . . but also the secrets that each character keeps.”
—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 . . . 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
“Filled with secrets, billionaires, and no shortage of deception . . . just as diabolical and addictive as anything by Ruth Ware, and certainly stands shoulder to shoulder with The Woman in Cabin 10.”
—Urban Waite, reviewer and author of The Terror of the Living
