6.19.2019 - Recursion

Recursion

Many thanks to NetGalley, Crown Publishing, and Blake Crouch for the opportunity to read and review his latest novel - 5 mind-blowing stars!  When our boys were growing up, we watched a lot of Star Trek.  But every time there was an episode with time travel, my brain would hurt.  Well, this book made my brain hurt but in that so good way that only a Blake Crouch book can do!

Time is a fleeting thing - and memories?  How many of our memories are real?  This book takes those concepts to a whole new direction.  NYPD Detective Barry Sutton is investigating suicides that are resulting from a phenomena called False Memory Syndrome - where victims suddenly remember past experiences from a life that wasn't really theirs.  Neuroscientist Helena Smith's mother is suffering from Alzheimer's and she is desperate to create a way for her to keep her memories.  But at what cost?  Can we go back and change history then?

This is a sci-fi thriller that will make you think and question - what more could you want?  Highly recommended!
