Book Blurb:
Melinda never really knew her husband. Until he died.
When Melinda's husband, Gabriel, is murdered while walking their dog in some local fields, her world is smashed to pieces.
Melinda, who was also attacked and knocked out during the terrifying ordeal, tries to get her life back on track, but the grief is overwhelming.
Then, months after the incident, she has an intense flashback. The killer said something to Gabriel in the moments before stabbing him, something that seems to indicate they knew each other.
Now convinced Gabriel was targeted on purpose, Melinda becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about her husband's death. But her daughters are concerned she's becoming delusional and she's seeing conspiracies where there are none.
As she digs deeper into his past, Melinda begins to realise that Gabriel had secrets, that despite all their years together, she may never have really known him.
What she doesn't realise is that she is inching towards the biggest secret of all, a secret that people have killed for – and died for. Can Melinda uncover it before she becomes its next tragic victim?

My Thoughts:
It's my stop on the Book Tour organized by Zooloo's Book Tour for I Remember Now by Robert W Kirby. Read on to know what I thought of the book!
I Remember Now is a psychological thriller with a twist that most won't see coming. The story follows Melinda as she tries to uncover the truth behind her husband's sudden death. She is pretty sure that he was murdered and through the course of her sleuthing, she uncovers deeply hidden secrets that force her to take a step back and think about the person she thought she knew and with whom she built a whole life.
The initial chapters felt a little disconnected and it was not easy for me to connect with Melinda or her daughters. However, on reading further, more of the story is revealed and through flashbacks which were handled quite well, the story starts to get better. The story all seemed to come together very quickly and easily in the end, but the twists and turns were unexpected and this kept the element of surprise real.
I felt that most of the characters were just shown at a surface level and many of their connections with one another were not explored deeply. This would have added a lot more intrigue to the plot. The relationship that Melinda shares with her two daughters was interesting and well portrayed. Overall, this is a good read and is interesting enough towards the second half to keep the reader guessing until the end.
