About this book
The Memory Game (1997) was Nicci French's debut, establishing the template the duo would return to for over a decade: an ordinary narrator's life destabilized by a resurfacing secret, told with close first-person tension rather than procedural distance. It runs 288 pages and is the first of twelve standalones that came before the Frieda Klein series launched.
